The best state of mind is balanced by two extremes. But we, driven by brain, try
to embrace one and discard the other. It is this discrimanatory practice that has
brought all our good - bad, sin - virtue into existence.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
Anything in life can be achieved solely by working towards it. "Action" is the
name for a deed performed intelligently. The capable person never leaves it to
destiny because he simply cannot believe in it.
You have your own religion and God, a nation as well as a society. You are
educated also and living with many ambitions and aspirations in mind. You have
many well-wishers too in the name of family and friends. But then it is difficult to
understand, why there are so many failures and miseries in life? Are you facing
the consequences of breaking the ultimate law of nature, "You come alone, go
alone?"
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'.
The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.
It didn't kill them the way reformers like Jesus, Socrates or Mansoor were...
Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
In the past 50 years, what joy and happiness has been offered by the politicians
and religious heads to the people of our country? And in comparison, what is
it that has not been bestowed by our legendary singers like Mohammed Rafi,
Kishore Kumar or Lata - Asha... Thanks to their voices, even today people get to
live a life of bliss and serenity for at least two hours a day.
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
Even if science works hard for thousands of years, it cannot formulate anything
like a blood test that could detect our feelings and emotions lying deep within,
because this is the subject of Psychology and Psychology is far beyond the
reach of Physical Science.
