All that your mind absorbs from the external world will prove to be a deterrent,
meaning it will push you back in life. Whatever your mind brings forth from within,
will only make you grow in life.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
No parallel can be drawn for human love. When an old person is spending his
time in loneliness, nobody bothers to check his well-being. But when he falls
sick, tens of people visit him in hospital and hundreds of people gather when he
dies.
Only he, who has a ''mind devoid of thought'' can live life like a human being. If
you have any inhibition, principles, a fixed mindset or an obstinate nature, others
will keep using you like an object.
If you wish to make your life meaningful; every morning spend ten minutes in
solitude and think about making today a fruitful day, and before going to bed
at night, rewind the day for five minutes and think whether or not the day was
wasted. And then, see what you will soon transform into.
In this universe sun, air, water, all are busy performing their functions, but have
no aspirations. Nothing to gain. When we will also learn to engage ourselves
in endeavours without any ambition or expectation, we will reach the ultimate
height of satisfaction.
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?
'Fear' and 'greed' are two sides of the same coin. If you manage to save yourself
from one...you will automatically be freed from the other.
Here in life, the people who set very high goals and intelligently formulate the
plan of action to attain the same... usually die utilizing one thousandth of their
potential.
If any achievement of your life goes to your head and you are gripped by ego...
then understand that you have reached your limit to grow. Now there can be only
one way to go and that is downwards.
