If you are able to identify your 'being' and your 'nature' separately, you will have
no trouble befalling your way thereafter in life .
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The decision that we have to make is, what is more important, visiting temples,
mosques, churches or eradicating negativities from the mind?
In the past 50 years, what joy and happiness has been offered by the politicians
and religious heads to the people of our country? And in comparison, what is
it that has not been bestowed by our legendary singers like Mohammed Rafi,
Kishore Kumar or Lata - Asha... Thanks to their voices, even today people get to
live a life of bliss and serenity for at least two hours a day.
In this world, 'the one' who knows the art of learning from each good - bad
incident and who can patiently await the final outcome of each event; 'he' soon
realizes that whatever happens here, can never be wrong.
The horse who wins the race, but does not know the difference between dry and
green grass, for how long can he sustain himself in the race? Same is the case
with people who attain higher degrees or are scholars, but still do not understand
the realities of life.
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;
because you know that he is the other. If you wish, you can separate your 'being'
from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
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?
The Muslim community spread across the globe is indeed put in a flux. Their
name gets affiliated with every terrorist activity and certainly the whole community
is bearing the brunt of it. But it is only their inability to raise a voice against
fanaticism that is mainly responsible for it.
The one who doesn't love himself, can never love anyone else in this world. And
if he loves himself, atleast he would not torture or trouble anyone in the name of
religion or teachings...
When your destination is long and far and when the odyssey has to be
journeyed by crossing many milestones, it is good to be excited by the little
accomplishments coming your way, but to lose alertness or become careless
because of excitement, will prove to be a deviation from your final destination.
