After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi

shops owned by the Jains named "Mahavira Vastralaya"?
Life in other words is to "work" hard for the upliftment of yourself as well as
others and as and when opportunity knocks...thoroughly enjoy yourself. There
cannot be any other purpose of life.
Since you are born a human being, it is good to have fancies for life and fulfill

torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.
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.
The root cause of all the sorrows of life is desire. Desire arises by looking at
things around you. Meaning, the one who keeps his eyes fixed only on himself,
will never be unhappy.
Now the time has come for all the open-minded, intelligent Muslims to come
forward and form a powerful association. If they themselves don't show courage
or care about their fellow brothers...why would someone else?
Any physical inhibition is of no value. Valuable is the intelligence which can
transform your mind.
Spontaneous consciousness is such a height of the human mind from where all
the peaks of progress can be mounted. This is the reason why a person who
thinks too much can never succeed in life.
