Neither lavish living is a sin nor simple living a virtue; but pretending and portraying
other than what we are or what we have, is certainly our hypocrisy.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
In life, if you observe carefully, no one minds doing the wrong deeds or saying
wrong things, but definitely take exception to being understood wrong. Isn't it
astonishing?
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.
'Paramatma' - the Supreme Being has nothing to do with your good or bad
karma. It is the ego which carries out the good or bad karma and bears the
consequences for the same too. The "Supreme Being in the form of witness" just
has to watch this drama unfold.
Leaving everything else aside, you first have to establish communication between
yourself and the supreme power. As soon as the communication is established,
all your illusions will be shattered. And the one who doesn't have any "illusion",
who can stop him from mounting the pinnacle of success?
All the struggles of life are less dependent on circumstances and more on our
state of mind. This is the reason why "a resolute mind" is easily able to conquer
even the toughest of the problems.
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.
The childishness of a human being is; on one hand, he is competing to take
credit for success, on the other hand, he is always seeking out an opportunity to
blame someone else for his failure. Consequently, he is never able to analyze
any event accurately.
Since human consciousness has traversed its journey from an amoeba to a
human being on the Principle of Evolution, if you note carefully, each one of us
will find many animal instincts within ourselves. To get rid of these instincts is the
first and foremost duty of every human being.
Bible, Quran and Vedas have been proven wrong on many instances. It is any
day better to devote the precious human life to the cause of humanity living life
to the fullest, rather than sacrificing it on their altar.
