Birth is an illusion, so is death. Truth is the element which makes both these
extremes of life meet. The day you recognize it, from then onwards, whenever,
whatever and how much ever you desire...you will get it.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
The decision that we have to make is, what is more important, visiting temples,
mosques, churches or eradicating negativities from the mind?
'Paramatma' - the Supreme Being has nothing to do with your good or bad
karma. It is the ego which carries out the good or bad karma and bears the
consequences for the same too. The "Supreme Being in the form of witness" just
has to watch this drama unfold.
There is a deep connection between mind and body. If the acid level rises in
the body, it often leaves you worried. At the same time, it is also true that if your
nature is negative, even if you eat "fruits", you will feel acidic.
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
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.
