"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?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Haven’t you ever felt the "suddenness" factor of existence in your life? Pay
attention, you are trying to remember something, but can't; then suddenly it
flashes. You make innumerable attempts to achieve something, but fail... Then
one fine day, when even you have forgotten that you wanted to achieve something
like this, suddenly you get it.
There is no such man known in history whose departure from this world has
stalled the progress of mankind. Meaning, our consciousness has been growing
day by day. But then, why do we still continue to live with the crutches of those
who were born thousands of years ago?
Are these 'Christians' really the followers of Jesus Christ, who for the sake of
all had happily embraced crucifixion? Despite speaking the truth, the manner in
which Galileo was treated by the Pope and priests in the name of the Bible, it
does not seem so.
Considering only your belief system to be true, you have been supporting it
firmly for ages. But why don't you understand that without taking constructive
criticism in your stride, it is impossible to tread the right path as per the need
of time. It is the law of human consciousness that the more one is open to his
own criticism, the more refined he gets. Only because of their own fanaticism,
the Muslim brothers all over the world are practically deprived of the immense
compassion of "intelligent" people.
Whatever and in whichever form it is in front of you...other than accepting it, a
human being has no other option. The faster you accept it and engage yourself
in the tasks ahead, the faster you progress.
If you really want to free yourself from anger, then forget all the useless things
you have learnt. The only way to get rid of anger is, whenever or on whosoever
you get angry, just keep releasing it. Do not harbour it within.
There are many things which are difficult for any wise man to understand... Like
the rewards that are bestowed by God in heaven on performing good deeds; the
same when done here are condemned by the religious heads, but then who are
they to condemn it?
In order to lead a successful human life you should have in your nature...a heart
of an artist, vision of a scientist, an astute business acumen, pride of self reliance,
the art of being joyous, a zest for life and lastly, a self-content nature; you should
essentially have a fair mix of all the above mentioned seven qualities.
Be it human life or universe, here everything happens according to a set law...
Meaning, the law of nature is one such formula that once understood, you are
not even required to do anything. Just apply the formula and get whatever you
desire.
