What is the difference between good news and bad news? In both the cases,
you are shaken from your slumber. You anyway react in both the cases. A true
human being is the one, who cannot be perturbed by any news.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
Your 'mind' is actually the sum-total of vibrations. So, it will always be beyond
the reach of science. And since you experience all your pains and pleasures
also on the screen of mind, science can never reveal the amount of pains and
miseries hidden in you or where does it come from. Neither will it ever succeed
in surgically removing those miseries from your body.
In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can be happy and successful.
One, who believe that God is almighty...then whatever good - bad, sin - virtue,
all is happening as per his will; the matter ends. Second, who believe that God
doesn't exist at all and take up all their responsibilities by themselves, again the
matter ends. But since all of us are stuck hanging between the two, we end up
being sad and unsuccessful.
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.
No teaching, no society nor any of the so-called religion explains to us the
importance of qualities like simplicity, innocence, selflessness or compassion.
Whereas the truth is, all the best creations, inventions and arts have stemmed
from the "consciousness" of people with these qualities.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
Concentration is magic because in concentration, energy moves in circular
motion. On the other hand, universal energy also moves in a circular motion. This
is the reason, when we work with full concentration, we immediately get attuned
to nature. Once the tuning with nature is set, know for sure, your life will be full of
peace, happiness and prosperity. Hence, if you wish to achieve great success,
you must learn to do even the smallest of the tasks with full concentration.
What are we? We are the medium between God and the World. If I elaborate
further, then we are the screens whose only duty is to bring the producer's film
to its viewers.
