The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
There is nothing in life that is absolutely good or bad. Sun gives life, but radiates
fierce heat too. If water quenches the thirst, then it also causes devastation
by bringing floods. Hence, the one who only embraces the positive aspects of
everything goes on being happy forever.
There is a "point of creativity" lying in the deep recesses of your mind which only
gets activated by concentration. And without that point being active, no success
can be achieved in life.
When the sustenance of our life is so dependent on the thousands of inventions
of the scientists and the peace, bliss and happiness is bestowed by the great
artists, then how can we revere them any less than Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
If you wish to understand mind and life, then religion or institutes will not be
able to teach you. For that, you will have to carefully observe all the natural
phenomena and events unfolding around you.
Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth sits on an 'Ullu' (An owl is called 'Ullu' in Hindi
which also means a fool)...but here, 24 x 7 we are busy fooling each other. Even
if Laxmi wants to, on whom would she sit?
A detached human being is the one who is neither in the race to achieve
something nor is anxious to renounce anything.
All that your mind absorbs from the external world will prove to be a deterrent,
meaning it will push you back in life. Whatever your mind brings forth from within,
will only make you grow in life.
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.
