What amount of "truth" are you living in can be gauged from the way you perceive
the good-bad events happening with you, and how much of it you attribute to
yourself and how much to others?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
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.
Those who are fundamentalists and refuse to listen to anything said against them,
we call them terrorists. Don't you find similar traits in majority of our religious
heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
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
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
Edison, without binding himself to the boundaries of nationality and religion,
desired the betterment of each human being, and invented light bulb; he became
successful. Buddha and Jesus defying their religion and caste worked for the
betterment of all and they too became immortal forever.
If you have full confidence in your personality, the respect and insults of others
will have no effect on you.
In life, if anything "unexpected or unforeseen" happens with you or around you,
then it is nothing but the manifestation of your foolishness.
In majority of the problems befalling our way, there is nothing much for us to do.
Most of the time they come knocking at others' doors, prompted by fright we
unnecessarily interfere and get caught in them.
What is the definition of joy? When you get an opportunity to do what you really
want to, the feeling that you experience then, is called "Joy".
