By self-study, by observing, by being hollow and empty, you become a channel - you become a part of the Divine. You are able to feel the presence of Divinity. All the different angels and devas, all these different forms of our consciousness, start blossoming.
Good is that which elevates the mind and evil is that which degrades the mind. Social virtue and vice are temporal entities; they have nothing to do with your relationship with the Supreme.
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
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
I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.
-Bob Dylan
The people who are successful in life are not so because they are highly qualified,
intelligent or meticulously doing their job, but the secret of their success lies in
the fact that they have educated themselves only with the vital, need-based, the
most essential knowledge...and they put in just the required effort in any task
that they pursue. By doing so, they conserve their precious time and energy
which eventually proves to be helpful in leading them to the path of success.
-Deep Trivedi
I care not so much what I am to others as what I am to myself. I will be rich by myself, and not by borrowing.
-Michel De Montaigne
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
-Kurt Vonnegut
If you have full confidence in your personality, the respect and insults of others
will have no effect on you.
-Deep Trivedi
