The person who does not love himself, though he may abstain from meat in the
name of non-violence; his mind can never be non-violent.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi

importance of qualities like simplicity, innocence, selflessness or compassion.
Whereas the truth is, all the best creations, inventions and arts have stemmed
from the "consciousness" of people with these qualities.

according to your nature, is called "Happiness".
Only in India, the Goddess of Wealth is harassed by worshipping her for the
sake of prosperity... Perhaps annoyed by such large scale harassment she has
turned her back on us. Wouldn't it be better if we further our faith only in our
"actions" to prosper in life?
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great

Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
Why don't you look after your parents while they are still alive, so that 'out of guilt'
you don't have to perform their Shraddh after their death.
Many a times, a person even feels the presence of "Third Force" in his life, but linking it to God and destiny, he fails to recognize it.
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'?
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.
