Your mind functions like a computer. It is only you, who has the authority to enter
or delete the data from it. But giving this right to others, you have corrupted the
computer of your mind.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Many a times despite feeling hungry we observe fast and at times inspite of
having an urge to play, we go to school... We don't even remember when and
how did these teachings to kill the natural desires begin?
It is said, 'If God is kind, even a donkey can roar like a lion'... Indeed it is true; but
in this world of intelligent men, where is the readiness in many people to become
"natural"?
Existence is governed by its own law. Here, the things impermanent by nature
are bound to meet their end. Hence, with the passage of time, not only Ravana's
Lanka but "Krishna's" Dwarka also sinks.
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
Agreed, there cannot be anything in this world more encouraging and exciting
than success. But success is achieved only by those, who refuse to relent on
their efforts even in trying times.
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'.
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
You simply understand that here including you, everything just exists, be it
happiness - sorrows or vice - virtues. Then rather than favouring one, why don't
you just enjoy watching the show?
Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
