The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you wish to experience the ego of having done something great in life, then
you will have to do away with all those small petty egos you tend to carry day in
and day out.
How could a person who is busy trying to amass more than a moment, ever
be successful in a world which is enlightened by just one facet of time i.e
'present'?
Generally, people believe black colour to be inauspicious, but when their hair
grow grey, the same people colour them black. Now how could you call them
anything but hypocrites?
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
The science of mind is completely contrary to the knowledge of the brain. At
the level of mind, as we regret doing the wrong deed, we repeatedly commit the
same act. Hence, at the level of mind, it is advisable to understand, not repent.
Any form of art is the manifestation of God. Whereas, in temples and churches
someone has just been instated in the name of God.
It is still in the hands of psychology to free the person from his 'innermost pains
and miseries' that he endures at deeper level; but it is not in anyone's hand to
help him eliminate his ego-driven sorrows. This is where no one else, but only
he can help himself.
All the struggles of life are less dependent on circumstances and more on our
state of mind. This is the reason why "a resolute mind" is easily able to conquer
even the toughest of the problems.
