If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The best state of mind is balanced by two extremes. But we, driven by brain, try
to embrace one and discard the other. It is this discrimanatory practice that has
brought all our good - bad, sin - virtue into existence.
Nature has not bestowed any such power to a human being that allows him to
give permanent happiness to anyone. For that, a person has to work hard and
put in efforts himself.
If you always want to be happy in life, toy with troubles as if it were a game. See;
whether you defeat the problems or they defeat you.
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.
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.
If you want to recognize your being, peep within yourself for a moment. Right
from birth until now, irrespective of the number of ups and downs that have come
along the journey of life, there is something which is still the same, and that is the
way you feel.
Many a times, a person even feels the presence of "Third Force" in his life, but
linking it to God and destiny, he fails to recognize it.
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?
A successful person, be it from any field, is always a master of psychology. The
testimony of success lies in his ability to influence others by his talks and acts.
