There is no feeling, except the extremes of fear and grief, that does not find relief in music.
-George Eliot

Likewise the spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows the mind of the spirit, because the spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
You know that if you get in the water and have nothing to hold on to, but try to behave as you would on dry land, you will drown. But if, on the other hand, you trust yourself to the water and let go, you will float, find this exactly the situation of faith.
-Alan Watts
Human life is influenced by seven elements - the laws of existence, his own
nature, his brain, mind, heart, DNA and his own set of experiences. No eighth
element or reason influences him even a bit.
-Deep Trivedi
If you need to find ways to pass your "time", then understand, your life is heading
in the wrong direction. Only if you feel pressed for time to finish your tasks, know
for sure that your steps are moving in the right direction.
-Deep Trivedi
In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
-Deep Trivedi
Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
-Abraham Joshua Heschel
