If you keep your focus fixed on the 'witness' - the one who is watching rather
than the 'ego' - the doer...your identification with the objects, people and acts will
be severed. The root cause of all the miseries of the world is our attachment with
them.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
Even science has not remained untouched by the marathon for money. All the
commercial successes of the past 200 years are also attributed to the new
inventions and innovations offered by science.
In this world, if desires could bring any result - then there is no dearth of desires
in anyone.
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.
If you have full confidence in your personality, the respect and insults of others
will have no effect on you.
Nothing can be worse than expecting anything from anyone, despite being born
as a human... The question is, why should someone help you in the first place?
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.
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
We need to understand, what is more helpful for the growth of life; educational
qualifications or concentration? Glancing at lives from Buddha to Edison,
concentration only seems to be more important.
