The measure in which a person is blind in the field of religion, he is equally blind
in understanding all the other truths of life. This is the reason why the world is full
of mentally and intelligently blind people.
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.
The "truth" of every moment is new, different and ever changing. Hence, the
things said thousands of years ago could be true in the context of "time, situation
and circumstances" prevalent at that time, but it is not necessary that they hold
relevance even today.
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".
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
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.
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
All the effective knowledge is very much hidden in the deep recesses of human mind. This is the reason, be it melodies of Mozart or Omar Khayyam's rubaiyat, Krishna's Bhagavad Gita or Einstein's formula which transformed the world E=mc2; all of them have stemmed from within.
The value of human life lies in doing your "karma" and as long as we are alive,
there is absolutely no question of shirking from your duties and responsibilities.
Hence, escaping karma and escaping life, both are essentially the same.
Because we suppress our anger against the strong and powerful, we keep
venting our anger on the weak, irrespective of the reason.
