If we stop expecting others to treat us as someone special, all our miseries
will be vanquished. When no one understood the great historical legends, right
from Buddha to Jesus in their times...why do you expect others to "understand
you"?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
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.
No matter how powerful the person is, however great are his feelings for you...
or even if you consider him God; he too, does not hold the authority to guarantee
you a permanent solution for your peace, happiness and prosperity.
The act which gives you happiness, which even the mind gets excited to do...
how could it be a 'sin'? After death, anyway you will not be able to do anything.
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
A human being is the only creature in the universe who can be happy and
successful. That is why, he is the only one in the universe who can be unhappy
and unsuccessful too.
To concentrate on one task at a time irrespective of its nature or kind, is 'Yoga'.
Likewise, focusing on many tasks at a time is 'Kama', no matter how great or
important you may consider them to be.
