Nature is all-round balanced by two polar opposites. As there have been
mountains on the earth, equal have been valleys. As vast as the space is,
equally expansive is time. Here, the measure in which negative energy exists,
in the same measure positive energy also exists... It is this balance, which has
made nature sustain itself and we are in this situation today, because we have
disrupted our balance.
- Deep Trivedi

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
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
- Swami Vivekananda
