If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If taking a bath in the holy Ganges can really wash off your 'sins', then why are
poor criminals put behind bars? Giving them a dip in the Ganges, why aren't
their 'sins' also washed off?
Only in India, the Goddess of Wealth is harassed by worshipping her for the
sake of prosperity... Perhaps annoyed by such large scale harassment she has
turned her back on us. Wouldn't it be better if we further our faith only in our
"actions" to prosper in life?
How do we even expect our life to change for the better, when the reins of our life
are in the hands of those who read our palms for 100 rupees, suggest auspicious
time for 200 rupees and sell idols for 500 rupees?
Only he, who has a ''mind devoid of thought'' can live life like a human being. If
you have any inhibition, principles, a fixed mindset or an obstinate nature, others
will keep using you like an object.
Only he can perpetrate violence on others, who knowingly or unknowingly is
torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.
If you wish to accomplish your ‘interests’ propelled by selfishness, you will not be
able to. If you try to get others' interests fulfilled sacrificing yourself, it will never
happen. But yes, if you keep everyone's interests in mind including yours, you
will surely be successful.
If you can accomplish any great task being absorbed in it and that too without
any expectations, believe me, that one act of yours will make you a "historical
person".
We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
