A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
People who have become historical figures are the ones, who have done
something new. Then let that innovation be in the field of science, religion,
business, music, literature or even movie-making. The matter worth thinking
about is; is there anything new, in all that we are being offered in the name of
'religion and education' or are we just blindly swallowing it up?
Mahavira had renounced clothing... But then why are majority of the clothing
shops owned by the Jains named "Mahavira Vastralaya"?
If you trust auspicious time and astrology so much, then when a family member
suffers from a heart attack, why do you immediately rush him to the hospital?
Why don't you first check the auspicious time and then leave for the hospital and
get him operated only after his horoscope matches with the doctor?
Before leading your life depending upon God, just check, does he really have
the authority to be partial and do any good for you?
A human being is the only creature in the universe who can be happy and
successful. That is why, he is the only one in the universe who can be unhappy
and unsuccessful too.
'Mind' not only understands all the mysteries of existence but can also reveal
their influence, in the life of any individual of this world with the precision of a
clock... But then it is difficult to understand that instead of delving into our mind,
what sort of trivial tasks have we entangled ourselves in?
Only he, who lives freely can enjoy life to the fullest. An egoist can never live
freely. And it is also true, how can a person tied up in numerous bondages do
anything else but die each moment he lives?
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?
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.
