Once you have commenced the task, then moving your concentration and
energies away, prior to its "successful completion" - is like inviting failure
yourself.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Every individual 'ego' wants to reach the top of the world but the beauty of nature
is such that only a 'non-egoist' gets to sit on the summit of ego.
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
There are millions and billions of people living in this world, who do not worship
or visit any temple, mosque or church and the truth is, they are living life much
more happily and peacefully. But today, no one in this world is living without the
application of "science". Try to live without it and you will realize what 'hell' is.
The biggest reason for our failure is, we are not able to see the existence of this
world in its totality. Here, neither it is possible to fulfill the personal interests of
any individual nor of any group.
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.
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
To concentrate on one task at a time irrespective of its nature or kind, is 'Yoga'.
Likewise, focusing on many tasks at a time is 'Kama', no matter how great or
important you may consider them to be.
The only principle to bring a task to fruition which you do not know how to do is,
completely surrendering to the person who knows it, with full trust.
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
