Trusting oneself helps you gain self-confidence whereas leading life depending
upon others, be it even God, dwindles your confidence. And only those who are
full of confidence become successful in life.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Without knowing your own mind, no success can be achieved in life. But to
understand the mind, neither books nor teachings are available. This is the sole
reason for such a miserable failure of human beings.
What is the difference between a theist and an atheist? An atheist is the one
who fails to recognize the ultimate supremacy of nature; hence he is trying to
enhance life with the help of the knowledge cultivated by his brain. A theist is
the one who does not apply his brain at all. He completely surrenders to the
existence, allowing nature to make and mould him as it deems right.
The man who claims himself to be super intelligent gives thousands of opinions
on others and various subjects as if no other person is more intelligent than him;
but ask him about the 'sleep' in which he spends one-third of his lifetime and he
is clueless... Isn't it ironical?
In order to lead a successful human life you should have in your nature...a heart
of an artist, vision of a scientist, an astute business acumen, pride of self reliance,
the art of being joyous, a zest for life and lastly, a self-content nature; you should
essentially have a fair mix of all the above mentioned seven qualities.
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.
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.
"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?
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.
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
