If you continuously wish to take best decisions in life, then stop taking decisions
out of "greed" of getting something or "fear" of losing something.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The person who indulges in self-torturing thoughts like fasting or uprooting his
own hair is bound to perform acts that will cause pain to others. Now you say,
how can such a person who inflicts pain on others ever be happy?
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.
The entire human life is driven by mind, and mind functions according to its
laws... In that case, what can be more important in human life than knowing and
understanding these laws of mind?
Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that
suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.
Because we suppress our anger against the strong and powerful, we keep
venting our anger on the weak, irrespective of the reason.
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
Whoever has achieved great success in life, they have knowingly or unknowingly,
firmly opted for one of the four ways of mind; joy, nature, independence or being
natural and whatever the path once chosen, irrespective of the circumstances...
they have incessantly followed it.
"Buddha" is such a wonder of time who was not only born in India but for forty
five years he even delivered discourses in India. But just because he opposed
the Hindu hypocrisies, India evicted his precious treasure from its soil. In its
history of past 2000 years, this is the biggest loss accrued to India.
In life, if you observe carefully, no one minds doing the wrong deeds or saying
wrong things, but definitely take exception to being understood wrong. Isn't it
astonishing?
