If taking a bath in the holy Ganges can really wash off your 'sins', then why are
poor criminals put behind bars? Giving them a dip in the Ganges, why aren't
their 'sins' also washed off?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
In a child's brain, nothing like good - bad, mine - yours or vice - virtue exist. By
way of conditioning, all these are fed into his system. Likewise, the child's liver
cannot take spicy or fried food, for that too it needs to be trained.
Here the one who walks the path of life instinctively, without being fixated on the
direction or thinking of the destination, surely sails many milestones of "success"
while enjoying the journey of life.
How do we even expect our life to change for the better, when the reins of our life
are in the hands of those who read our palms for 100 rupees, suggest auspicious
time for 200 rupees and sell idols for 500 rupees?
Are we Hindu and Indian? Christian and American?... Or a unique human being
born on this earth? The choice that you make here will decide the path of your
life.
Meditation is not an act that has to be done separately or to be achieved in
isolation of the forests. It is a quality, which continuously gets enhanced with the
habit of doing even the smallest of the tasks with full concentration.
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
The philosophy of "Karma" and "Destiny" are two parallel lines...which have
never met, nor can they ever meet.
Just as extra energy is required to push the space shuttle out of earth's gravitation,
likewise, we also need energy above a certain limit to free the mind from the
influence of brain.
We need to understand, what is more helpful for the growth of life; educational
qualifications or concentration? Glancing at lives from Buddha to Edison,
concentration only seems to be more important.
