I am one of your those religious gurus, who upon realizing that I have no qualities
to grow in life like art, science, the spirit of hard work or any qualification have
opened a shop of promises and blessings... And see, today I possess the land
bank spread over acres, my own ashram and thousands of intelligent followers
like you.
Quotations
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".
The irony is, even the countries who embraced Buddha were no less a wonder.
Buddha didn't believe in the concept of God. He was against every kind of
worship... But they also made him a God and worshipped him... Who cares
how terribly it hurts Buddha?
Don't know why religious people and their religious sentiments are so weak that
they get hurt every now and then... As such it is understandable, the slightest
tremor is enough to cause the debilitated structures to collapse.
The only principle to bring a task to fruition which you do not know how to do is,
completely surrendering to the person who knows it, with full trust.
I consider him to be a true believer of God, who no matter what happens...has
the capacity to cheerfully accept it there and then, as the will of God.
'Fear' and 'greed' are two sides of the same coin. If you manage to save yourself
from one...you will automatically be freed from the other.
'Yes' is theism and 'No' is atheism. In life the number of things that you have firmly
abstained from...shows how irreligious you are. The meaning of irreligiousness
itself is the denial of God's creations.
Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that
suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
