Neither lavish living is a sin nor simple living a virtue; but pretending and portraying
other than what we are or what we have, is certainly our hypocrisy.

Success or failure in life depends on our decisions and for the right decision,
a calm and blissful state of mind is a must. In that context, the most important
teaching of our life is the one that...guides us to attain peace and joy.
"Time" is such a flow that it puts even an exemplary person like "Krishna" to
the deep sleep of death. But the life that he lived and the Bhagavad Gita that
he recited, immortalizes him forever. Even you have to die, then why not do
something that immortalizes you forever.
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;
because you know that he is the other. If you wish, you can separate your 'being'
from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
The amount of knowledge that is hidden in the deep recesses of the mind...
the outside world does not have even a fraction more to offer. Of course, the
information updates have to be sourced from the outside world... Here, the
difference between 'knowledge' and 'information' is worth understanding.
Our energy level decides which state of mind we will live in. More the energy
accumulated in us...deeper the state of mind we begin to dwell in.
Population can be a liability as well as an asset. If every citizen works, only then
can population be an asset. When one person earns and supports four, it is
dangerous not only for the family, but even for the country... In that case, where
is the question of fostering these pundits and sannyasins?
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
When the sustenance of our life is so dependent on the thousands of inventions
of the scientists and the peace, bliss and happiness is bestowed by the great
artists, then how can we revere them any less than Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
