Whoever has achieved great success in life, they have knowingly or unknowingly,
firmly opted for one of the four ways of mind; joy, nature, independence or being
natural and whatever the path once chosen, irrespective of the circumstances...
they have incessantly followed it.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the
difference between 'thinking' and 'worrying'. Reflecting upon it, however complex
a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.
The principles of our mind and life are far more profound than the principles of
science. In fact, all the discoveries or inventions of science are also attributed to
the principles of mind and life.
How intelligent are you, can be known by the amount of unexpected happenings
in your life.
How strange are we? We don't have claws like a tiger, yet we growl at others,
don't have venom like snakes, yet harbour animosities; don't have wings like
birds, still keep flying in the fantasy world. When you do not possess any human
quality, how will you achieve success in life?
In Jain scriptures, the only complete man in the history of the world "Krishna"
is also placed in hell. To the extent that even Buddha, who has enlightened the
whole world has been mentioned by the Jain monks as the one initiated by
"Mahavira". Isn't it the height of their insecurity and inferiority?
Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?
Among many moral stories told to children by their parents, the stories of obedient
children like Rama and Shravana are mostly told with some extra fondness. Are
some parents living with the latent desire to get their children's youth sacrificed
for the sake of their old age?
Isn't it funny that we never look into the lives of the great people whom we
worship, to dispel the miseries from our life and see, how much pain they have
endured in their life. The truth is, we fail to understand one simple and basic
fact that as long as there is life, there will be pain; no matter however great the
person may be... Their greatness is not in having a life without hardship but
because of their ability to remain cheerful even when surrounded by miseries.
Do you know the difference between 'doing' and 'happening'? Whatever that
you have to do out of compulsion, shows your lack of power and slavery, and
whatever that simply ''happens'' by you is actually the time when you are really
alive.
