Without knowing your own mind, no success can be achieved in life. But to
understand the mind, neither books nor teachings are available. This is the sole
reason for such a miserable failure of human beings.

In pursuit of auspicious time a lot of people delay the "act" even when the time,
situations and conditions are ripe or they tend to act even when circumstances
are not in their favour. These are nothing but the "means" which lead you to your
own end.
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
If you are a fraud and it is mentioned on your visiting card, how would you be
able to cheat anyone?... No one would simply fall in your trap.
If you carefully look at life, there is always something worth learning in each
incident that happens. Our problem is, we get stuck in the incident and miss the
opportunity to learn the lesson.
People who have become historical figures are the ones, who have done
something new. Then let that innovation be in the field of science, religion,
business, music, literature or even movie-making. The matter worth thinking
about is; is there anything new, in all that we are being offered in the name of
'religion and education' or are we just blindly swallowing it up?
In this world, neither does a diamond take pride in shining nor does the stone
have any inferiority in being a stone. All the complexes spread across the world
are the creations of human brain.
There is nothing wrong in having any kind of fancy in life or any physical act, if
done appropriately. Likewise, there is no virtue in visiting temples or worshipping
either. The goodness of being human lies in the qualities like compassion, self-
confidence, self-dependence and innocence which are tainted by attributes like
jealousy, partiality, selfishness and stubbornness.
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.
Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
