To whom praise and blame are equal, who is silent, content with every fortune, home-renouncing, steadfast in mind, and worships Me, that person is dear to me.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita
To whom praise and blame are equal, who is silent, content with every fortune, home-renouncing, steadfast in mind, and worships Me, that person is dear to me.
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
-Dalai Lama
A solid rock is not disturbed by the wind; even so, a wise person is not agitated by praise or blame.
Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?
-Deep Trivedi
Quite often in our attempt to solve the problems we end up inching closer to
them. Generally problems come and go, there really is nothing much for you to
do in it.
-Deep Trivedi
Be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others and never expecting any in return.
No God in this world can be so narrow-minded that he needs to be appeased by
sycophancy or worship, and if he does gets pleased and favours you, then he
cannot be God... He can only be the devil.
-Deep Trivedi
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. ...Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness towards the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous and indifference towards the wicked.
