It is not that the world has deteriorated today. You perceive the world as you are.
The world has been the same from the very beginning; neither has there been
a virtuous age (Dharma yuga) nor a sin age (Papi yuga). Here, everything has
always been dependent on an individual's perspective with which he looks at it.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Tampering with nature and natural substances always costs us dear. We are
also bearing the consequences of tampering with our nature only.
Life is such a business, where for every gain you have to lose something.
'Losing less - Gaining more' is what defines success in business here.
'Big loss - Small gain' is a loss making deal in life... At the same time, depriving
yourself of the gain, out of fear of loss is utter stupidity.
Even if science works hard for thousands of years, it cannot formulate anything
like a blood test that could detect our feelings and emotions lying deep within,
because this is the subject of Psychology and Psychology is far beyond the
reach of Physical Science.
The more you co-operate with mind, the more it will co-operate with you. You
cannot push your mind against its will. It is only due to the teachings of compelling
the mind to function in a certain manner that human being has become so pervert.
The one who co-operates with his mind, always attains huge success in life.
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
In existence, no human being is perfect. Every person has his own unique
nature and individual field of expertise. Even those, whom we know as gods
were unaware of the knowledge of science all their life.
There is nothing in life that is absolutely good or bad. Sun gives life, but radiates
fierce heat too. If water quenches the thirst, then it also causes devastation
by bringing floods. Hence, the one who only embraces the positive aspects of
everything goes on being happy forever.
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?
