'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.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
As science needs "energy" to change the form of any matter, even you need
energy to transform your nature. If you don't have the energy, even if you desire,
you will not be able to bring a change in yourself.
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
Tampering with nature and natural substances always costs us dear. We are
also bearing the consequences of tampering with our nature only.
It is still in the hands of psychology to free the person from his 'innermost pains
and miseries' that he endures at deeper level; but it is not in anyone's hand to
help him eliminate his ego-driven sorrows. This is where no one else, but only
he can help himself.
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
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.
If you have full confidence in your personality, the respect and insults of others
will have no effect on you.
