In life, nothing can be costlier than gaining anything by compromising the soul.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
'Joy' emanates only from those actions which bear fruits instantly. 'Act' today and
'result' tomorrow, such karmas can only impart pains and pleasures.
The person who knows the functioning of 'his' own mind, can easily understand
everyone else's as well, which is why he is able to reign over them. All our life,
we unnecessarily engage ourselves in understanding others' minds instead of
our own.
Here, there is no difference in the functioning of 'energy' and 'matter', ultimately
even matter exists only because of energy. (Energy meaning 'that' which governs
everything including us)
"Act without expectations"...what Krishna said is cent percent true. All he is
saying is, whatever you do should generate nothing but happiness. As the action
joyously performed is the only act for which the by-product is also joy...and that
too instantly, hand-in-hand.
In a child's brain, nothing like good - bad, mine - yours or vice - virtue exist. By
way of conditioning, all these are fed into his system. Likewise, the child's liver
cannot take spicy or fried food, for that too it needs to be trained.
Isn't it funny that we never look into the lives of the great people whom we
worship, to dispel the miseries from our life and see, how much pain they have
endured in their life. The truth is, we fail to understand one simple and basic
fact that as long as there is life, there will be pain; no matter however great the
person may be... Their greatness is not in having a life without hardship but
because of their ability to remain cheerful even when surrounded by miseries.
Agreed, there cannot be anything in this world more encouraging and exciting
than success. But success is achieved only by those, who refuse to relent on
their efforts even in trying times.
The talented people belonging to developing countries have to promote
themselves on their own at the international level. In this process, a substantial
amount of their energy gets wasted.
The philosophy of "Karma" and "Destiny" are two parallel lines...which have
never met, nor can they ever meet.
