Do not extinguish the lamp of Divine Grace and do not let the candle of wisdom die out in the darkness of lust and error.
-Kahlil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
Quotations
Wisdom
-Kahlil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
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"
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
Have you ever thought; is there any difference between respect and insult?
Respect is what the other gives you and insult is what the other tries to snatch
from you. Thus in both cases, the 'doer'- is the other only...how does it matter to
you?
-Deep Trivedi
Be it love or business, charity or anger, when you do everything half heartedly,
how can you expect a decisive result?
-Deep Trivedi
No matter how powerful the person is, however great are his feelings for you...
or even if you consider him God; he too, does not hold the authority to guarantee
you a permanent solution for your peace, happiness and prosperity.
-Deep Trivedi
Irrespective of your relation with a person, to an extent possible, you should
never interfere in anyone’s personal life because at present, even you don't
have an idea of what is good and bad. Till the time you are not aware of the
difference between pains and pleasures of the ego and joys and sorrows of the
soul, it is better to stay away from others’ lives.
-Deep Trivedi
Trust me, 'you' are only a spectator who is watching the ups and downs of
everyone’s life including yours. Your problem is; you believe yourself to be the
doer.
-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.
-Deep Trivedi
The childishness of a human being is; on one hand, he is competing to take
credit for success, on the other hand, he is always seeking out an opportunity to
blame someone else for his failure. Consequently, he is never able to analyze
any event accurately.
-Deep Trivedi
