"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Just as extra energy is required to push the space shuttle out of earth's gravitation,
likewise, we also need energy above a certain limit to free the mind from the
influence of brain.
There are millions and billions of people living in this world, who do not worship
or visit any temple, mosque or church and the truth is, they are living life much
more happily and peacefully. But today, no one in this world is living without the
application of "science". Try to live without it and you will realize what 'hell' is.
For peace, bliss and prosperity in life, what we need is energy, not knowledge. The
biggest source of energy is "concentration" and the biggest enemy, "thinking".
"Act without expectations"...what Krishna said is cent percent true. All he is
saying is, whatever you do should generate nothing but happiness. As the action
joyously performed is the only act for which the by-product is also joy...and that
too instantly, hand-in-hand.
There is no complex in existence, it is we who have identified stones and
diamonds differently. The day you accept yourself as you are instead of trying to
change it, your complex will also disappear... I promise you, that day onwards
you will start getting attuned to nature.
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
Have you ever noticed that our maximum loss of energy occurs when we try to
restrain the flow of whatever that is coming from within?
Are we Hindu and Indian? Christian and American?... Or a unique human being
born on this earth? The choice that you make here will decide the path of your
life.
In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
