What are the traits of an awakened person? First, his comings and goings are
only as per his wish. Second, no reason of the outside world can influence him
and third, whatever he is once determined to do, he breathes only when it is
brought to fruition.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
For peace, bliss and prosperity in life, what we need is energy, not knowledge. The
biggest source of energy is "concentration" and the biggest enemy, "thinking".
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
Generally, people believe black colour to be inauspicious, but when their hair
grow grey, the same people colour them black. Now how could you call them
anything but hypocrites?
The act which has the right balance of love, concentration, knowledge and karma
is positive, whatever else you do, the results are bound to be negative.
Ego simply doesn't know how to strike a balance. Either it stays immersed in the
worldly matters or getting distressed, takes 'sanyas' - renounce the world... But
to lead a normal life while being mentally detached from the world is something
that it just does not know.
"The laws of nature" are the supreme authority of the world. Krishna, Buddha
and Christ are also the people who accepting and surrendering to the supremacy
of nature, have dissolved their individual existence i.e. "ego".
In pursuit of auspicious time a lot of people delay the "act" even when the time,
situations and conditions are ripe or they tend to act even when circumstances
are not in their favour. These are nothing but the "means" which lead you to your
own end.
In this world, 'the one' who knows the art of learning from each good - bad
incident and who can patiently await the final outcome of each event; 'he' soon
realizes that whatever happens here, can never be wrong.
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.
