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.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you would genuinely be satisfied with your feelings, the certificates or opinions
of others would hold no significance for you. So much so that being true, you will
never have to justify yourself.

gravitational force; all are equally available to everyone for free. For a man of
reason, this holds not one, but thousand implications.
The act which has the right balance of love, concentration, knowledge and karma
is positive, whatever else you do, the results are bound to be negative.
Mahavira had renounced clothing... But then why are majority of the clothing

No matter how much ever your brain understands, ultimately it is the "mind"
that needs to be transformed. Because of wrong decisions being taken in an
enraged state of mind, the brain may decide n-number of times not to get angry

Life is only the present. Here, the moment once gone, is gone forever. It can
never come back. At the same time, no moment of future arrives with prior
intimation. Hence, this travel back and forth in the past and future, is nothing but
the manifestation of our fears. There is nothing worthwhile in it.
Just look at your poor "foresight" and you will realize; the things that you are so
keen to achieve, once accomplished, in a matter of few days begin to pinch you
like a thorn.
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
The result of any task is not dependent on what and how you performed it but most
importantly, how confidently you carried it out. Certainly, 'Vastu' and 'Mahurats' -
the auspicious time are the manifestations of lack of confidence. Therefore, their
slightest presence in your thoughts is bound to make your endeavours fail.
