The one who is causing harm to himself is not bad, but the one, who is causing
harm to others is... As far as the person himself is concerned, he has always
been free.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The "Third Force" not only exists in this world but is also functional in full force.
However, it has nothing to do with God or destiny.
It is still in the hands of psychology to free the person from his 'innermost pains
and miseries' that he endures at deeper level; but it is not in anyone's hand to
help him eliminate his ego-driven sorrows. This is where no one else, but only
he can help himself.
The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
Time has taken such a turn that the definition of saints and businessmen
has completely changed. The ones, looting millions of people in the name of
hypocrisy, have come to be known as 'saints'. Whereas, true saints are those,
who have established and expanded businesses by their assiduity and have
given employment to millions of people.
If any achievement of your life goes to your head and you are gripped by ego...
then understand that you have reached your limit to grow. Now there can be only
one way to go and that is downwards.
Jains insist on having their separate food counters even at others' weddings. It
is really difficult to understand, though they seem to be okay otherwise, what
problem they have in mingling with people?
We are religious gurus. What do we do? Whatever you do, we brand it as a
sin... Meaning, despite being dependent on your donations, we abuse you. Still
this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
There is nothing wrong in having any kind of fancy in life or any physical act, if
done appropriately. Likewise, there is no virtue in visiting temples or worshipping
either. The goodness of being human lies in the qualities like compassion, self-
confidence, self-dependence and innocence which are tainted by attributes like
jealousy, partiality, selfishness and stubbornness.
