Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Jains insist on having their separate food counters even at others' weddings. It
is really difficult to understand, though they seem to be okay otherwise, what
problem they have in mingling with people?
-Deep Trivedi
When I hear somebody sigh, “Life is hard”, I am always tempted to ask, compared to what?
-Sydney J. Harris
It is as difficult to change someone’s opinions as it is to change his tastes.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"Act without expectations"...what Krishna said is cent percent true. All he is
saying is, whatever you do should generate nothing but happiness. As the action
joyously performed is the only act for which the by-product is also joy...and that
too instantly, hand-in-hand.
-Deep Trivedi
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
How strange are we? We don't have claws like a tiger, yet we growl at others,
don't have venom like snakes, yet harbour animosities; don't have wings like
birds, still keep flying in the fantasy world. When you do not possess any human
quality, how will you achieve success in life?
-Deep Trivedi
If a householder moulds himself according to the circumstances - just like nature moulds itself according to seasons - and performs his karma, then only shall he acquire happiness. One who does this successfully gains in all walks of life.
If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
