After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Success or failure in life depends on our decisions and for the right decision,
a calm and blissful state of mind is a must. In that context, the most important
teaching of our life is the one that...guides us to attain peace and joy.
Everyone is proud of his caste and religion. Please for once, observe yourself
and the people around you carefully - the pride will disappear by itself. And only
then, embracing the world you will be able to tread the path of progress.
The measure in which a person is blind in the field of religion, he is equally blind
in understanding all the other truths of life. This is the reason why the world is full
of mentally and intelligently blind people.
Are these 'Christians' really the followers of Jesus Christ, who for the sake of
all had happily embraced crucifixion? Despite speaking the truth, the manner in
which Galileo was treated by the Pope and priests in the name of the Bible, it
does not seem so.
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
Freedom is the ultimate dignity of a human being, please handle it with utmost
care. Neither should you interfere in anyone's life nor let any person, religion,
society or scripture intervene in your life. Because...you are unique and the
only one of your kind. No one like you has ever been born before nor would be.
Hence, your only duty as a human being is to safeguard yourself against all and
make the journey of your life a truly memorable one.
God is dead, atleast in the sense that neither can he stop you from achieving
what you are capable of, nor can he give you anything more than what you
deserve.
Why don't you simply understand that events are happening outside and your life
is within you. Then whatever happens outside, why should your life be affected
by it ? It does, because you forcibly perceive yourself being attached to it.
Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that
suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.
