The concept of "God" has come into existence because of fear. ‘Fear’ is the
offspring of insecurity and desire... The interesting part is, you don't need either
of these after death.

No parallel can be drawn for human love. When an old person is spending his
time in loneliness, nobody bothers to check his well-being. But when he falls
sick, tens of people visit him in hospital and hundreds of people gather when he
dies.
Why don't we understand the simple fact that we have to spend the major part
of our life with ourselves. Then why do we depend on other people or things and
invite sorrows? Obviously, how can a person who is so dependent on others for
his happiness, ever be happy?
Do you know the difference between 'doing' and 'happening'? Whatever that
you have to do out of compulsion, shows your lack of power and slavery, and
whatever that simply ''happens'' by you is actually the time when you are really
alive.
The best state of mind is balanced by two extremes. But we, driven by brain, try
to embrace one and discard the other. It is this discrimanatory practice that has
brought all our good - bad, sin - virtue into existence.
The way you are given bitter medicines when you fall sick, the same way you also
need psychological treatment when you suffer from a psychological problem.
This is the reason why people who only talk sweet and sugary, prove fatal for our
life.
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.
You simply understand that here including you, everything just exists, be it
happiness - sorrows or vice - virtues. Then rather than favouring one, why don't
you just enjoy watching the show?
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.
