Only in India, the Goddess of Wealth is harassed by worshipping her for the
sake of prosperity... Perhaps annoyed by such large scale harassment she has
turned her back on us. Wouldn't it be better if we further our faith only in our
"actions" to prosper in life?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
The biggest problem of the world is the existence of the 50 million odd priests,
monks and the heads of various religious institutions, who in the pretext of being
religious, survive at others' mercy without doing anything fruitful themselves.
If they are compelled to do even farming, I promise that overnight the rate of
grains all across the world will almost be halved.
In this universe sun, air, water, all are busy performing their functions, but have
no aspirations. Nothing to gain. When we will also learn to engage ourselves
in endeavours without any ambition or expectation, we will reach the ultimate
height of satisfaction.
Denying anything strongly, is nothing but inviting that thing in life, if not today...
tomorrow to assume a monstrous form.
Whatever and in whichever form it is in front of you...other than accepting it, a
human being has no other option. The faster you accept it and engage yourself
in the tasks ahead, the faster you progress.
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the
difference between 'thinking' and 'worrying'. Reflecting upon it, however complex
a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.
One 'beautiful-mind' indeed weighs heavy over thousand creations of nature
and that is why from Socrates to Kabir, all hold such great importance.
Adverse circumstances bother you only till the time you pay attention to them.
The moment you divert your attention onto favourable circumstances, all your
troubles vanish.
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
