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?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Whatever you are at present, is nothing but the result of sum total of your actions
in this birth till now. Meaning, had you been acting with awareness right from
childhood, you would have been something different today. It also means that
even now if you become aware and consciously perform your actions in future...
certainly, you can become what you really want to.
To be joyous in life, a few bites to eat in peace, pouring rains or cool breeze are
sufficient... Whereas for reasons to be sad, you can write thousands of books on
it.
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.
Life is another name for "struggle". Sanyas - the renunciation is the name for
running away from struggle. If you wish to live like a human being who is truly
alive, then you must learn to live amidst struggles.
Religion has nothing to do with God, worship, temples, mosques or churches;
it is directly related only to the teachings that take the human mind to newer
unprecedented heights.
An intelligent person is the one who can differentiate between the necessary
and the unnecessary things in life.
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.
Only that, which cannot be separated from you even after death is yours; and
that cannot be anything other than your "self-contentment".
'Paramatma' - the Supreme Being has nothing to do with your good or bad
karma. It is the ego which carries out the good or bad karma and bears the
consequences for the same too. The "Supreme Being in the form of witness" just
has to watch this drama unfold.
