The amount of knowledge that is hidden in the deep recesses of the mind...
the outside world does not have even a fraction more to offer. Of course, the
information updates have to be sourced from the outside world... Here, the
difference between 'knowledge' and 'information' is worth understanding.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
What is the difference between us and Buddha, Krishna and Christ? Firstly,
eliminating the negativities of mind, they energized themselves and then they
deployed the same energy for the upliftment of the whole world. And look at us,
we are so inept that we can't even amass 'energy for our own betterment'.
Be it life or business, "satisfaction" is the biggest key to success. Firstly, being
satisfied you don't fall back; secondly, in the absence of greed and ambitions,
you do not engage yourself in mindless activities and miserably fail; and thirdly,
sitting peacefully, you are able to spot the golden opportunities to grow in life.
What are the traits of an awakened person? First, his comings and goings are
only as per his wish. Second, no reason of the outside world can influence him
and third, whatever he is once determined to do, he breathes only when it is
brought to fruition.
Great tasks are not accomplished driven by great ambitions, but the highest
level of concentration and a firm determination.
The childishness of a human being is; on one hand, he is competing to take
credit for success, on the other hand, he is always seeking out an opportunity to
blame someone else for his failure. Consequently, he is never able to analyze
any event accurately.
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.
If you trust auspicious time and astrology so much, then when a family member
suffers from a heart attack, why do you immediately rush him to the hospital?
Why don't you first check the auspicious time and then leave for the hospital and
get him operated only after his horoscope matches with the doctor?
The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth sits on an 'Ullu' (An owl is called 'Ullu' in Hindi
which also means a fool)...but here, 24 x 7 we are busy fooling each other. Even
if Laxmi wants to, on whom would she sit?
