'Joy' emanates only from those actions which bear fruits instantly. 'Act' today and
'result' tomorrow, such karmas can only impart pains and pleasures.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Action
The effects of all our actions are experienced instantaneously in the form of the
state of mind they elicit... Those who are laying the web of religions in the name
of doctrine of Karma are simply being deceitful.
-Deep Trivedi
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
To concentrate on one task at a time irrespective of its nature or kind, is 'Yoga'.
Likewise, focusing on many tasks at a time is 'Kama', no matter how great or
important you may consider them to be.
-Deep Trivedi
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?
-Deep Trivedi
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
-Deep Trivedi
If you are dissatisfied or unhappy with any of your act or thinking, then too don't
try to change it, you will fail miserably. Transform your nature, your action and
thinking will change by themselves.
-Deep Trivedi
If you can accomplish any great task being absorbed in it and that too without
any expectations, believe me, that one act of yours will make you a "historical
person".
-Deep Trivedi
Concerned alone with the upholding of the world, you should act. Whatever the best man does, others do that also. The world follows the standard he sets for himself.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 3.20-21"
The act which gives you happiness, which even the mind gets excited to do...
how could it be a 'sin'? After death, anyway you will not be able to do anything.
-Deep Trivedi
