Only two kinds of deeds can be termed auspicious; one, wherein you get the
pleasure but not at the cost of others. (Mind here, it does not include the imaginary
or ego-driven losses) and second, the task, which if completed benefits millions
of people.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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?
I would say harbouring negativities and even the acts driven by such emotions
are not wrong but what is wrong is, because of them your life gets filled with
sorrows and failures.
Will science ever be able to create life? No way! The question simply does not
arise because here, no one has the power to create or destroy.
A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
Time is powerful and has millions of facets to it. Only the one who understands
and discerns every facet of time can lead a happy and prosperous life.
One 'beautiful-mind' indeed weighs heavy over thousand creations of nature
and that is why from Socrates to Kabir, all hold such great importance.
A religious person knows how to embrace things in a right manner; an irreligious
person simply renounces things out of "fear".
What is more valuable, the car or you? Certainly you... Then instead of the car,
why don't you wear a necklace of lemon and chillies, as it is you, who is more at
risk.
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
