Be it life or business, only he grows who not only stands firm wherever he is, but
also remains satisfied with it.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Are we Hindu and Indian? Christian and American?... Or a unique human being
born on this earth? The choice that you make here will decide the path of your
life.
There is nothing wrong in having any kind of fancy in life or any physical act, if
done appropriately. Likewise, there is no virtue in visiting temples or worshipping
either. The goodness of being human lies in the qualities like compassion, self-
confidence, self-dependence and innocence which are tainted by attributes like
jealousy, partiality, selfishness and stubbornness.
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
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.
Once you have commenced the task, then moving your concentration and
energies away, prior to its "successful completion" - is like inviting failure
yourself.
In majority of the problems befalling our way, there is nothing much for us to do.
Most of the time they come knocking at others' doors, prompted by fright we
unnecessarily interfere and get caught in them.
Jains insist on having their separate food counters even at others' weddings. It
is really difficult to understand, though they seem to be okay otherwise, what
problem they have in mingling with people?
Truth has always prevailed and always will, because it is the bridge between all
the contradictory powers and emotions of this world. Irrespective of the number
of ups and downs that may come, both in the energies and emotions, truth
always stands still.
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
