In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
"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?
Truth has always prevailed and always will, because it is the bridge between all
the contradictory powers and emotions of this world. Irrespective of the number
of ups and downs that may come, both in the energies and emotions, truth
always stands still.
There is no such man known in history whose departure from this world has
stalled the progress of mankind. Meaning, our consciousness has been growing
day by day. But then, why do we still continue to live with the crutches of those
who were born thousands of years ago?
I consider him to be a true believer of God, who no matter what happens...has
the capacity to cheerfully accept it there and then, as the will of God.
If taking a bath in the holy Ganges can really wash off your 'sins', then why are
poor criminals put behind bars? Giving them a dip in the Ganges, why aren't
their 'sins' also washed off?
If you mould yourself according to time and let yourself flow with the changing
circumstances, see, what you will soon transform into.
A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
In order to lead a successful human life you should have in your nature...a heart
of an artist, vision of a scientist, an astute business acumen, pride of self reliance,
the art of being joyous, a zest for life and lastly, a self-content nature; you should
essentially have a fair mix of all the above mentioned seven qualities.
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the
difference between 'thinking' and 'worrying'. Reflecting upon it, however complex
a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.
