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
The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
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.

them.
To show the path of life many a times a 'foe'...is far more helpful than friends.
Thanks to them, you not only remain alert, but at times they also prove to be a
source of encouragement for you... In that case, where is the place for hatred in
this world?
If you really wish to strengthen your individuality and accomplish something
great in life, then recognize the presence of "witness". Only because it is there,
you can feel that you are working.
No matter how much ever your brain understands, ultimately it is the "mind"
that needs to be transformed. Because of wrong decisions being taken in an
enraged state of mind, the brain may decide n-number of times not to get angry
again, yet, as soon as there is an inkling of anger in the mind, you will invariably
end up being angry.
One 'beautiful-mind' indeed weighs heavy over thousand creations of nature
and that is why from Socrates to Kabir, all hold such great importance.
If carefully seen, when shocked or hurt, if you are able to express your feelings,
you are relieved of it and the same when mistakenly suppressed; then that pain
in its perverted form becomes your destiny.
