No matter how adverse the circumstances are, never step back when it comes
to "performing your duties" or honouring your responsibilities. If the body wears
out, fuel it with the energy of the mind; if the mind also gets exhausted, pull it
through with the energy of the soul... But no matter what...finish the task taken
in hand.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The talented people belonging to developing countries have to promote
themselves on their own at the international level. In this process, a substantial
amount of their energy gets wasted.
If taking a bath in the holy Ganges can really wash off your 'sins', then why are
poor criminals put behind bars? Giving them a dip in the Ganges, why aren't
their 'sins' also washed off?
The person who understands the dynamics of changing circumstances, lives
his life satisfied in the present. Of course, he keeps an eye on how things are
shaping... As a result, the moment he sees anything ready on a platter, he
immediately grabs it with both hands.
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
The only truth of human life is; after sixty years he has to depart, bidding a
farewell to this world forever... In that case, his only duty which remains, is to
leave behind the historical footprints of his existence in this world.
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.
Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions
created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.
In this existence, not even a particle can ever be created or destroyed. Yes,
to some extent, it can be transformed...and some transformation happens by
itself.
