Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Life is such a business, where for every gain you have to lose something.
'Losing less - Gaining more' is what defines success in business here.
'Big loss - Small gain' is a loss making deal in life... At the same time, depriving
yourself of the gain, out of fear of loss is utter stupidity.
Nature has no interference in human life. A human being is absolutely free from
nature's side. In that case, if not the person himself, who else is responsible for
all his happiness and sorrows?
In this world of infinite "Time and Space", if you could not decipher the rationale
of your 6 feet long body coming into existence for about 60 years, then whatever
you did, learnt or achieved is all useless.
What is the difference between a theist and an atheist? An atheist is the one
who fails to recognize the ultimate supremacy of nature; hence he is trying to
enhance life with the help of the knowledge cultivated by his brain. A theist is
the one who does not apply his brain at all. He completely surrenders to the
existence, allowing nature to make and mould him as it deems right.
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?
The more you co-operate with mind, the more it will co-operate with you. You
cannot push your mind against its will. It is only due to the teachings of compelling
the mind to function in a certain manner that human being has become so pervert.
The one who co-operates with his mind, always attains huge success in life.
In existence, no human being is perfect. Every person has his own unique
nature and individual field of expertise. Even those, whom we know as gods
were unaware of the knowledge of science all their life.
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
