The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The concept of "God" has come into existence because of fear. ‘Fear’ is the
offspring of insecurity and desire... The interesting part is, you don't need either
of these after death.
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 one who accepts defeat, before he is defeated or gives up before death,
how can he be considered alive?
A human being is absolutely independent; therefore whatever happens to him
is completely his own responsibility. The one who holds others responsible,
repeatedly commits the same mistakes again and again.
Population can be a liability as well as an asset. If every citizen works, only then
can population be an asset. When one person earns and supports four, it is
dangerous not only for the family, but even for the country... In that case, where
is the question of fostering these pundits and sannyasins?
One 'beautiful-mind' indeed weighs heavy over thousand creations of nature
and that is why from Socrates to Kabir, all hold such great importance.
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.
To be absolutely independent in each and every field of life, is your first and
foremost duty. If you are burdensome to anyone, for anything...then your life is
a complete waste.
Do you know the difference between 'doing' and 'happening'? Whatever that
you have to do out of compulsion, shows your lack of power and slavery, and
whatever that simply ''happens'' by you is actually the time when you are really
alive.
