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.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
You simply understand that here including you, everything just exists, be it
happiness - sorrows or vice - virtues. Then rather than favouring one, why don't
you just enjoy watching the show?

state of mind. This is the reason why "a resolute mind" is easily able to conquer
even the toughest of the problems.
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the
difference between 'thinking' and 'worrying'. Reflecting upon it, however complex
a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.

blame someone else for his failure. Consequently, he is never able to analyze
any event accurately.
In this universe sun, air, water, all are busy performing their functions, but have
no aspirations. Nothing to gain. When we will also learn to engage ourselves
in endeavours without any ambition or expectation, we will reach the ultimate
height of satisfaction.
All the knowledge possessed by science regarding the human body is based
on probabilities. Whilst, many cancer patients are the ones who have abstained
from tobacco lifelong...majority of the heart attacks are suffered by those who
do not have high cholesterol levels.
In life, no one can only be bad. Even the worst of human being has many good
qualities hidden in him. The one who only looks at the better part of people, lives
his life in utter bliss and peace.
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
The Jain monks, who claim their scriptures to be more knowledgeable and
advanced than science, by walking barefoot and uprooting hair with their own
hands, which scientific age prescribed in their scriptures do they want to drive
mankind to?
