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?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can be happy and successful.
One, who believe that God is almighty...then whatever good - bad, sin - virtue,
all is happening as per his will; the matter ends. Second, who believe that God
doesn't exist at all and take up all their responsibilities by themselves, again the
matter ends. But since all of us are stuck hanging between the two, we end up
being sad and unsuccessful.
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
'Do your karma without worrying about the fruits of your action.' This is the most
wonderful shloka recited by the most intelligent man of this world "Krishna",
in the most unique granth the "Bhagavad Gita". The irony is, all our worships,
rituals, fasting, vastu, astrology are the acts performed with the expectations of
desired results.
What are the traits of an awakened person? First, his comings and goings are
only as per his wish. Second, no reason of the outside world can influence him
and third, whatever he is once determined to do, he breathes only when it is
brought to fruition.
We need to understand, what is more helpful for the growth of life; educational
qualifications or concentration? Glancing at lives from Buddha to Edison,
concentration only seems to be more important.
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
No matter how much you have been wronged, other than accepting it what option
do you have?... If there is, please let me also know.
Be it Jesus or Buddha - Krishna or Socrates, there is no such person in this
world whose life and thinking can't be understood; because in the end they are
also nothing more than our "best possible form".
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
