How soon you overcome each incident, good or bad happening with you reveals
how deeply you understand life?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
It is against nature to pre-decide, what is to be done the next moment. But
surprisingly, people even decide right from what they aspire to become in future
to when should they visit temples and observe fasts. Now, if you act so much
against nature, of course you will have to bear the brunt of it.
There is nothing in life that is absolutely good or bad. Sun gives life, but radiates
fierce heat too. If water quenches the thirst, then it also causes devastation
by bringing floods. Hence, the one who only embraces the positive aspects of
everything goes on being happy forever.
Tampering with nature and natural substances always costs us dear. We are
also bearing the consequences of tampering with our nature only.
Hindu religion, where all gods are "kings" meaning the ones who look after the
interests of their subjects; how can that religion consider those who build palatial
ashrams from others donations, as religious?
The one who is causing harm to himself is not bad, but the one, who is causing
harm to others is... As far as the person himself is concerned, he has always
been free.
'Joy' emanates only from those actions which bear fruits instantly. 'Act' today and
'result' tomorrow, such karmas can only impart pains and pleasures.
Society divided us without realizing our inherent harmony. It endowed us with
nation, family, caste and creed. Religion divided us as Hindu, Muslim and
Christian whereas in reality, the entire mankind is one and united. Hence, he
who believes in groupism, is bound to be unsuccessful.
An intelligent person is the one who can differentiate between the necessary
and the unnecessary things in life.
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
