A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Love is possible only step by step. If one loves himself, then only can he love
people around him and only if he loves people around him, can he fall in love
with the entire mankind... But some people directly fall in love with stones and
animals. Difficult to understand, as to who are they trying to deceive?
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
When the sustenance of our life is so dependent on the thousands of inventions
of the scientists and the peace, bliss and happiness is bestowed by the great
artists, then how can we revere them any less than Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
Neither the ones who have created enormous wealth under the shade of religion,
nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from
worldly attachments'.
Proper food and regular exercise is the most essential need of the human body.
Only he, who can strike a balance between the two, can enjoy life. Dieting, only
exercise or 'no exercise', either of these is like playing with your body.
To be absolutely independent in each and every field of life, is your first and
foremost duty. If you are burdensome to anyone, for anything...then your life is
a complete waste.
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
The whole world is a psychology and everything belonging to this world, living or
non-living also has its own psychology. No one can ever bring a thing out of the
sphere of its psychology.
Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that
suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.
