The human mind and body share a deep bond, a bond so deep that majority
of our illnesses are psychological. I would even say, weakening of the mind
initiates the process that leads to death.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The principles of our mind and life are far more profound than the principles of
science. In fact, all the discoveries or inventions of science are also attributed to
the principles of mind and life.
Generally, people believe black colour to be inauspicious, but when their hair
grow grey, the same people colour them black. Now how could you call them
anything but hypocrites?
Haven’t you ever felt the "suddenness" factor of existence in your life? Pay
attention, you are trying to remember something, but can't; then suddenly it
flashes. You make innumerable attempts to achieve something, but fail... Then
one fine day, when even you have forgotten that you wanted to achieve something
like this, suddenly you get it.
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.
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 secret to take life forward is only known to your 'mind', and mind and brain
have no communication. Hence, the matters which your brain thinks will make
you grow, know for sure that they will push you back in life and the ones that you
feel will push you back in life, understand that these are the matters which will
help you sail the summit of success.
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
