Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions
created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
I am one of your those religious gurus, who upon realizing that I have no qualities
to grow in life like art, science, the spirit of hard work or any qualification have
opened a shop of promises and blessings... And see, today I possess the land
bank spread over acres, my own ashram and thousands of intelligent followers
like you.
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.
There are about 330 million gods and goddesses described in Hindu scriptures.
Even on the basis of the population at present, this works out to be around
one God for every 3 individuals. Still looking at the conditions prevalent in our
country, they seem to be busy elsewhere... I feel rather than relying on them, it
is high time that we engage ourselves for the welfare of our country.
If you wish to lead a healthy life, then till the age of forty, eat to your heart's
content and do lots of exercise. This is what our father and forefathers did. It is
we, who have recognized the fatty food and acidic food separately and as a result,
today’s youth has started eating each morsel with apprehension. Consequently,
nowadays it is the parents and elders who have to look after their children.
It is against nature to pre-decide, what is to be done the next moment. But
surprisingly, people even decide right from what they aspire to become in future
to when should they visit temples and observe fasts. Now, if you act so much
against nature, of course you will have to bear the brunt of it.
To enjoy 'what you have' is understandable; but mourning their loss has always
been beyond comprehension.
Before teaching, scolding, advising or giving opinion to children, every parent
of the world should look deep into their lives and question themselves, are they
really successful in their life? Is it not possible that a child, without holding the
hand of his parents, has the potential to surpass them purely on the basis of his
own decisions and freedom?
Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence, the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in confusion.
