It is not that Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or Mohammed lacked anything in their
compassion. If they could, they would have eliminated the "pains and miseries" of
human life long back. But the problem is, in this case we have to help ourselves,
no one else can.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
The one who is causing harm to himself is not bad, but the one, who is causing
harm to others is... As far as the person himself is concerned, he has always
been free.
In a child's brain, nothing like good - bad, mine - yours or vice - virtue exist. By
way of conditioning, all these are fed into his system. Likewise, the child's liver
cannot take spicy or fried food, for that too it needs to be trained.
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.
The one who accepts defeat, before he is defeated or gives up before death,
how can he be considered alive?
The success of our endeavours does not depend on the quantum of efforts, but
the state of mind engaged...at the time of pursuing the task.
"Desire" has a very unique quality. You will never get anything that you desire.
If you do not believe, then peep into your life, you will realize that you never got
what you desired and what you got, you had never desired.
The ultimate height of human intelligence is understanding the ''science of mind''.
Intelligence at a secondary level is the understanding of principles of "time and
space" and its impact. Surprisingly, even people who know neither of these, still
consider themselves to be intelligent.
If you continuously wish to take best decisions in life, then stop taking decisions
out of "greed" of getting something or "fear" of losing something.
