Isn't it funny that we never look into the lives of the great people whom we
worship, to dispel the miseries from our life and see, how much pain they have
endured in their life. The truth is, we fail to understand one simple and basic
fact that as long as there is life, there will be pain; no matter however great the
person may be... Their greatness is not in having a life without hardship but
because of their ability to remain cheerful even when surrounded by miseries.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you carefully look at life, there is always something worth learning in each
incident that happens. Our problem is, we get stuck in the incident and miss the
opportunity to learn the lesson.
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
In the universe, everything has its own individual nature. No element of existence
has any confusion with regards to their nature except the intelligent human being,
who is absolutely clueless about his own nature.
Here, there is no difference in the functioning of 'energy' and 'matter', ultimately
even matter exists only because of energy. (Energy meaning 'that' which governs
everything including us)
All the knowledge possessed by science regarding the human body is based
on probabilities. Whilst, many cancer patients are the ones who have abstained
from tobacco lifelong...majority of the heart attacks are suffered by those who
do not have high cholesterol levels.
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'?
What is the definition of happiness? The feeling that arises when you are acting
according to your nature, is called "Happiness".
Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
Religion has nothing to do with God, worship, temples, mosques or churches;
it is directly related only to the teachings that take the human mind to newer
unprecedented heights.
