Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The person who indulges in self-torturing thoughts like fasting or uprooting his
own hair is bound to perform acts that will cause pain to others. Now you say,
how can such a person who inflicts pain on others ever be happy?
A person ''true by heart'' is free from all the pains of separation that one generally
endures. Because he knows that the physical meeting and separation depend
upon the circumstances created by nature, then why be unhappy about it? And
if separated from someone by heart, then the question of grieving simply doesn't
arise.
The one who accepts defeat, before he is defeated or gives up before death,
how can he be considered alive?
The "truth" of every moment is new, different and ever changing. Hence, the
things said thousands of years ago could be true in the context of "time, situation
and circumstances" prevalent at that time, but it is not necessary that they hold
relevance even today.
To enjoy 'what you have' is understandable; but mourning their loss has always
been beyond comprehension.
In nature, there are only two focal points of energy; one, 'anger' and second,
'love'. But unfortunately, Science simply does not know how to view from the
perspective of Psychology. Here the energy is created either by the friction of
two things i.e. 'anger' or by the union of two things i.e. 'love'.
Irrespective of your relation with a person, to an extent possible, you should
never interfere in anyone’s personal life because at present, even you don't
have an idea of what is good and bad. Till the time you are not aware of the
difference between pains and pleasures of the ego and joys and sorrows of the
soul, it is better to stay away from others’ lives.
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.
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?
