Things without which our life simply cannot sustain... like air, water and
gravitational force; all are equally available to everyone for free. For a man of
reason, this holds not one, but thousand implications.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Many a times despite feeling hungry we observe fast and at times inspite of
having an urge to play, we go to school... We don't even remember when and
how did these teachings to kill the natural desires begin?
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
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?
Adverse circumstances bother you only till the time you pay attention to them.
The moment you divert your attention onto favourable circumstances, all your
troubles vanish.
Life is only the present. And in the present, neither there is room for memories of
the past nor worries of the future. The root cause of all the miseries of life is the
effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
Considering only your belief system to be true, you have been supporting it
firmly for ages. But why don't you understand that without taking constructive
criticism in your stride, it is impossible to tread the right path as per the need
of time. It is the law of human consciousness that the more one is open to his
own criticism, the more refined he gets. Only because of their own fanaticism,
the Muslim brothers all over the world are practically deprived of the immense
compassion of "intelligent" people.
Love and anger are two names of the same energy. If you learn to use one
properly...the second by itself gets channelized in fruitful tasks.
Flashing of past or future in any form or thinking about it even for a moment...is
nothing but the 'ego'.
A detached human being is the one who is neither in the race to achieve
something nor is anxious to renounce anything.
