A successful life is the one which has no desires left in the mind at the time of
death.
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'?
Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence,
the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since
there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in
confusion.
No matter however dreadful a form the problem manifests itself in, it surely has
some or the other definite solution in time or space. All that you need to do is,
without panicking, reflect upon it from the depths of your mind.
If you wish to experience the ego of having done something great in life, then
you will have to do away with all those small petty egos you tend to carry day in
and day out.
There is nothing more "deceitful" than ego in this world. If you want to see,
carefully observe the people who unnecessarily show high moral, talk ethics,
visit temples or strictly follow rituals. Their entire being reverberates ego, yet
they are unaware of it.
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
Don't know where and when did the concept of God in the form of human, his
imaginary powers...and fantasies like heaven and hell begin? Whatever be the
case, today they have become a source of livelihood for more than 50 million
pundits, priests and maulvis.
Meditation is not an act that has to be done separately or to be achieved in
isolation of the forests. It is a quality, which continuously gets enhanced with the
habit of doing even the smallest of the tasks with full concentration.
Spontaneous consciousness is such a height of the human mind from where all
the peaks of progress can be mounted. This is the reason why a person who
thinks too much can never succeed in life.
