Feeling a sense of pride on accomplishing something, is a proof that you have
got more than what you deserve.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi

poor criminals put behind bars? Giving them a dip in the Ganges, why aren't
their 'sins' also washed off?
The person who does not love himself, though he may abstain from meat in the
name of non-violence; his mind can never be non-violent.
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the

a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.
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.
If you want to recognize your being, peep within yourself for a moment. Right
from birth until now, irrespective of the number of ups and downs that have come
along the journey of life, there is something which is still the same, and that is the
way you feel.
If you keep your focus fixed on the 'witness' - the one who is watching rather
than the 'ego' - the doer...your identification with the objects, people and acts will
be severed. The root cause of all the miseries of the world is our attachment with
them.
What is the difference between foolishness and deviousness? The consequences
of both have to be faced equally, anyway.
In today's time, the influence of wealth has increased so much that the wealthy
do not need to possess any other good quality in themselves.
Life in other words is to "work" hard for the upliftment of yourself as well as
others and as and when opportunity knocks...thoroughly enjoy yourself. There
cannot be any other purpose of life.
