After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence, the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in confusion.
In this existence, not even a particle can ever be created or destroyed. Yes,
to some extent, it can be transformed...and some transformation happens by
itself.
Edison, without binding himself to the boundaries of nationality and religion,
desired the betterment of each human being, and invented light bulb; he became
successful. Buddha and Jesus defying their religion and caste worked for the
betterment of all and they too became immortal forever.
If you wish to accomplish your ‘interests’ propelled by selfishness, you will not be
able to. If you try to get others' interests fulfilled sacrificing yourself, it will never
happen. But yes, if you keep everyone's interests in mind including yours, you
will surely be successful.
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
The man who claims himself to be super intelligent gives thousands of opinions
on others and various subjects as if no other person is more intelligent than him;
but ask him about the 'sleep' in which he spends one-third of his lifetime and he
is clueless... Isn't it ironical?
Edison is Edison because experiments come to him naturally and he lets it flow
from his inner being. We are compelled to work, so we are unsuccesful. Whereas
Buddha, Krishna and Jesus are the people whose each and every action is a
happening induced by nature.
We are religious gurus. What do we do? Whatever you do, we brand it as a
sin... Meaning, despite being dependent on your donations, we abuse you. Still
this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
If any achievement of your life goes to your head and you are gripped by ego...
then understand that you have reached your limit to grow. Now there can be only
one way to go and that is downwards.
