Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
Ego
Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence, the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in confusion.
If taking a bath in the holy Ganges can really wash off your 'sins', then why are poor criminals put behind bars? Giving them a dip in the Ganges, why aren't their 'sins' also washed off?
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.
It is against nature to pre-decide, what is to be done the next moment. But surprisingly, people even decide right from what they aspire to become in future to when should they visit temples and observe fasts. Now, if you act so much against nature, of course you will have to bear the brunt of it.
If any achievement of your life goes to your head and you are gripped by ego... then understand that you have reached your limit to grow. Now there can be only one way to go and that is downwards.
Ego
Only in India, the Goddess of Wealth is harassed by worshipping her for the sake of prosperity... Perhaps annoyed by such large scale harassment she has turned her back on us. Wouldn't it be better if we further our faith only in our "actions" to prosper in life?
Right from communication, necessity, luxury to ailments of the body, whatever that science has discovered or invented, is actually nothing less than a miracle. In that case, if we can relate the 'blessings of Science' to our mind rather than brain, even nature will become envious of our life.
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
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.
