living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Instead of offering namaz five times a day, it is better to develop the habit of
performing five good deeds a day.
Religion has nothing to do with God, worship, temples, mosques or churches;
it is directly related only to the teachings that take the human mind to newer
unprecedented heights.
A successful person, be it from any field, is always a master of psychology. The
testimony of success lies in his ability to influence others by his talks and acts.
Intelligent is not the one who knows the formula of water i.e. H2O. But intelligent is the one, who realizes when he is thirsty and knows the amount of water to be consumed to quench it.
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same

that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
To get enthused about something before it is achieved, always brings undesired
grievous results. To realize it, you need not go far, just reflect upon a few incidents
of your life...you will understand.
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.
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...
Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits
and sannyasins?
The person who knows the functioning of 'his' own mind, can easily understand
everyone else's as well, which is why he is able to reign over them. All our life,
we unnecessarily engage ourselves in understanding others' minds instead of
our own.
