What is the definition of joy? When you get an opportunity to do what you really
want to, the feeling that you experience then, is called "Joy".
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
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.
If taking a bath in the holy Ganges can really wash off your 'sins', then why are
poor criminals put behind bars? Giving them a dip in the Ganges, why aren't
their 'sins' also washed off?
Anger, worries, fear, worship, insecurity, jealousy and partiality drag you to
such darker recesses of the mind from where even a blind person seems clear-
sighted. When you have lost the sense to see things in their right perspective,
how could you get anything but failure in life?
Brain understands the things by dissecting them because all it knows is the
tangible objects. But mind does not recognize the tangible objects differently; it
only understands the vibrations and their intensities and depths. It is only due
to our inability to establish a mutual communication between the two, that we all
are total failures.
Among many moral stories told to children by their parents, the stories of obedient
children like Rama and Shravana are mostly told with some extra fondness. Are
some parents living with the latent desire to get their children's youth sacrificed
for the sake of their old age?
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.
