If you wish to understand mind and life, then religion or institutes will not be
able to teach you. For that, you will have to carefully observe all the natural
phenomena and events unfolding around you.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Our biggest problem is the complete contrast in the nature of brain and mind.
Majority of the people do not even realize the separate existence of the two.
As a result, their entire life gets crumbled and destroyed in the constant friction
between their brain and mind.
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
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.
When you are doing what everyone else is doing, why cry and crib...? What is
happening to all, is happening to you as well.
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.
After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
What is the difference between a theist and an atheist? An atheist is the one
who fails to recognize the ultimate supremacy of nature; hence he is trying to
enhance life with the help of the knowledge cultivated by his brain. A theist is
the one who does not apply his brain at all. He completely surrenders to the
existence, allowing nature to make and mould him as it deems right.
The only principle to bring a task to fruition which you do not know how to do is,
completely surrendering to the person who knows it, with full trust.
The biggest treasure of a human being is his "power of imagination". Instead
of utilizing it for making a discovery or melody or exploring the avenues of
business...we waste it on imaginary worries and finding fictitious Gods to resolve
it.
