We need to understand, what is more helpful for the growth of life; educational
qualifications or concentration? Glancing at lives from Buddha to Edison,
concentration only seems to be more important.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
The success of our endeavours does not depend on the quantum of efforts, but
the state of mind engaged...at the time of pursuing the task.
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
What do we call brilliancy? An attitude of applying more than required. But then
what is the need to apply more than that is needed? That in itself is a kind of
foolishness.
Spontaneous consciousness is such a height of the human mind from where all
the peaks of progress can be mounted. This is the reason why a person who
thinks too much can never succeed in life.
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.
Existence is governed by its own law. Here, the things impermanent by nature
are bound to meet their end. Hence, with the passage of time, not only Ravana's
Lanka but "Krishna's" Dwarka also sinks.
No matter how knowledgeable a person is or how compassionate he is; even
for him the body does not deviate from its nature. Like us, even their bodies fall
sick; when poisoned or crucified on the gallows, even they die... Still weaving
miracles around them, isn't it a deliberate attempt to tarnish their personality?
To be absolutely independent in each and every field of life, is your first and
foremost duty. If you are burdensome to anyone, for anything...then your life is
a complete waste.
