It is difficult to understand as to who is stopping a person other than himself,
to live a life in utter bliss and joy. Nobody. And no one can either. It is just the
thousands of rules and fears devised by his brain...that have stopped him.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
How soon you overcome each incident, good or bad happening with you reveals
how deeply you understand life?
If you carefully look at the vastness of the universe or the enormous depths
of the ocean with awareness even for a second, all your sorrows will get
dissipated; because then you will be left with no pride of being someone "great"
or "exceptional".
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.
What is there to be so proud in being a vegetarian? If you really want to be proud,
then stop using the things invented by non-vegetarians, right from aircrafts, cars,
A/C to even blood tests, when you fall ill.
All the struggles of life are less dependent on circumstances and more on our
state of mind. This is the reason why "a resolute mind" is easily able to conquer
even the toughest of the problems.
One 'beautiful-mind' indeed weighs heavy over thousand creations of nature
and that is why from Socrates to Kabir, all hold such great importance.
If you need to find ways to pass your "time", then understand, your life is heading
in the wrong direction. Only if you feel pressed for time to finish your tasks, know
for sure that your steps are moving in the right direction.
