Instead of offering namaz five times a day, it is better to develop the habit of
performing five good deeds a day.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
Because we know, we are doing wrong, what others think of us holds so much
importance to us.
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.
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.
Tampering with nature and natural substances always costs us dear. We are
also bearing the consequences of tampering with our nature only.
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
The entire past of a person is like a dustbin. Whenever one puts his hand in and
tries to take anything out, no matter what it is, it will surely stink. Similarly, all his
aspirations for future resemble the desire to fly like a bird, whenever he will try,
he is bound to fall hard and hit the ground.
It is still in the hands of psychology to free the person from his 'innermost pains
and miseries' that he endures at deeper level; but it is not in anyone's hand to
help him eliminate his ego-driven sorrows. This is where no one else, but only
he can help himself.
Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence,
the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since
there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in
confusion.
