If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.

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.
If something is considered right at a particular place at a particular time, the
same thing is rendered useless with the change of place and time. In that case,
of what relevance is the list of good and bad deeds that we are working upon?
"Act without expectations"...what Krishna said is cent percent true. All he is
saying is, whatever you do should generate nothing but happiness. As the action
joyously performed is the only act for which the by-product is also joy...and that
too instantly, hand-in-hand.
Love and anger are two names of the same energy. If you learn to use one
properly...the second by itself gets channelized in fruitful tasks.
Instead of offering namaz five times a day, it is better to develop the habit of
performing five good deeds a day.
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.
Spontaneous consciousness is such a height of the human mind from where all
the peaks of progress can be mounted. This is the reason why a person who
thinks too much can never succeed in life.
Agreed, there cannot be anything in this world more encouraging and exciting
than success. But success is achieved only by those, who refuse to relent on
their efforts even in trying times.
Why don't you simply understand that events are happening outside and your life
is within you. Then whatever happens outside, why should your life be affected
by it ? It does, because you forcibly perceive yourself being attached to it.
