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
There are two forces strongly present in you; one, your 'witness' and second,
your 'ego'. Ego, the one who is doing the things, and witness, the one who is
watching all that happens.
The biggest proof of the presence of "witness" is; while indulging in any wrong
doing whether someone knows it or not, there is no such person who himself
does not know that what he is doing, is wrong.
Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
If you mould yourself according to time and let yourself flow with the changing
circumstances, see, what you will soon transform into.
The ''awakened person'' is the one, in whose presence not only the people
around him, but even the existence and the circumstances feel compelled to
fulfil his desires... And to be so awakened is not a difficult task.
What amount of "truth" are you living in can be gauged from the way you perceive
the good-bad events happening with you, and how much of it you attribute to
yourself and how much to others?
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.
Since we have taken human birth, doing our karma is the only ''worship''
and honouring duties and responsibilities, the only "meditation". Separately
worshiping or meditation is performed by those, who have turned their back on
duties.
The more you become natural, the more energy you get from nature. Always
remember, your own energy is very miniscule in order to make your life
successful.
