Like other particles of the world even "ego" cannot be destroyed. Yes, it can
surely be transformed into soulful qualities... But the moment any "Buddha"
attempts it, fearing extinction, ego not only resists but also activates its self-
defence mechanism.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
No matter how much ever your brain understands, ultimately it is the "mind"
that needs to be transformed. Because of wrong decisions being taken in an
enraged state of mind, the brain may decide n-number of times not to get angry
again, yet, as soon as there is an inkling of anger in the mind, you will invariably
end up being angry.
To enjoy 'what you have' is understandable; but mourning their loss has always
been beyond comprehension.
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.
Many a times, our unessential understanding becomes the cause of our problem,
yet we can't resist applying our brain in every trivial matter.
Due to faulty teachings, as we grow we begin to lose the important qualities
like self-confidence, enthusiasm, concentration, vision and foresight. Otherwise
these are the most natural qualities among children. In that case, don't you think
we need to re-evaluate our educational system?
The secret to take life forward is only known to your 'mind', and mind and brain
have no communication. Hence, the matters which your brain thinks will make
you grow, know for sure that they will push you back in life and the ones that you
feel will push you back in life, understand that these are the matters which will
help you sail the summit of success.
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?
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?
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But
now, the greediness of the priests have increased so much that in the name of
assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
