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.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Wisdom
The biggest proof of the presence of "witness" is; while indulging in any wrong
doing whether someone knows it or not, there is no such person who himself
does not know that what he is doing, is wrong.
-Deep Trivedi
It is said, 'If God is kind, even a donkey can roar like a lion'... Indeed it is true; but
in this world of intelligent men, where is the readiness in many people to become
"natural"?
-Deep Trivedi
If pilgrimages were so sacred then why do thousands of pilgrims become victims
of accidents every year? Is God venting his anger on those, who despite being
born as human beings continue to harass him?
-Deep Trivedi
You have your own religion and God, a nation as well as a society. You are
educated also and living with many ambitions and aspirations in mind. You have
many well-wishers too in the name of family and friends. But then it is difficult to
understand, why there are so many failures and miseries in life? Are you facing
the consequences of breaking the ultimate law of nature, "You come alone, go
alone?"
-Deep Trivedi
Till the time religion, science and education are not seasoned with psychology,
they cannot prove to be useful for the true upliftment of a human being in the
long run.
-Deep Trivedi
The small wisdom is like water in a glass: clear, transparent, pure. The great wisdom is like the water in the sea: dark, mysterious, impenetrable.
-Rabindranath Tagore "Rabindranath Tagore"
What amount of "truth" are you living in can be gauged from the way you perceive
the good-bad events happening with you, and how much of it you attribute to
yourself and how much to others?
-Deep Trivedi
Rain down your wisdom in sacred streams to carry me like an upturned leaf through the currents of this grey day.
-Prayer "Prayers for a Planetary Pilgrim"
The person who indulges in self-torturing thoughts like fasting or uprooting his
own hair is bound to perform acts that will cause pain to others. Now you say,
how can such a person who inflicts pain on others ever be happy?
-Deep Trivedi
