Ego simply doesn't know how to strike a balance. Either it stays immersed in the
worldly matters or getting distressed, takes 'sanyas' - renounce the world... But
to lead a normal life while being mentally detached from the world is something
that it just does not know.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
A detached human being is the one who is neither in the race to achieve
something nor is anxious to renounce anything.
The more you co-operate with mind, the more it will co-operate with you. You
cannot push your mind against its will. It is only due to the teachings of compelling
the mind to function in a certain manner that human being has become so pervert.
The one who co-operates with his mind, always attains huge success in life.
If you mould yourself according to time and let yourself flow with the changing
circumstances, see, what you will soon transform into.
Here the one who walks the path of life instinctively, without being fixated on the
direction or thinking of the destination, surely sails many milestones of "success"
while enjoying the journey of life.
No vibration emanating from our "mind" can ever be suppressed nor can any
vibration be created in mind... they can only be transformed.
The horse who wins the race, but does not know the difference between dry and
green grass, for how long can he sustain himself in the race? Same is the case
with people who attain higher degrees or are scholars, but still do not understand
the realities of life.
Only in India, the Goddess of Wealth is harassed by worshipping her for the
sake of prosperity... Perhaps annoyed by such large scale harassment she has
turned her back on us. Wouldn't it be better if we further our faith only in our
"actions" to prosper in life?
In life, if anything "unexpected or unforeseen" happens with you or around you,
then it is nothing but the manifestation of your foolishness.
For a sensible person, the matter worth thinking about is, in the history of past
5000 years, what has been the role of millions of saints, priests and religious
agents in the betterment of the world, and in comparison what has been the
contribution of 500 scientists?... All that we need to decide is, who is genuinely
more compassionate towards mankind?
