Considering only your belief system to be true, you have been supporting it
firmly for ages. But why don't you understand that without taking constructive
criticism in your stride, it is impossible to tread the right path as per the need
of time. It is the law of human consciousness that the more one is open to his
own criticism, the more refined he gets. Only because of their own fanaticism,
the Muslim brothers all over the world are practically deprived of the immense
compassion of "intelligent" people.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you wish to make your life meaningful; every morning spend ten minutes in
solitude and think about making today a fruitful day, and before going to bed
at night, rewind the day for five minutes and think whether or not the day was
wasted. And then, see what you will soon transform into.
In life, there is nothing that you can simply gain. Here, for every gain, you always
have to lose something. Hence, the people who are apprehensive of losing in
every small matter...can never gain something big.
Intelligent is not the one who knows the formula of water i.e. H2O. But intelligent is the one, who realizes when he is thirsty and knows the amount of water to be consumed to quench it.
The root cause of all the sorrows of life is desire. Desire arises by looking at
things around you. Meaning, the one who keeps his eyes fixed only on himself,
will never be unhappy.
"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 one who doesn't love himself, can never love anyone else in this world. And
if he loves himself, atleast he would not torture or trouble anyone in the name of
religion or teachings...
Be it life or business, only he grows who not only stands firm wherever he is, but
also remains satisfied with it.
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
Certainly there is no delight greater than self-satisfaction in this world... But the
feeling of self-satisfaction comes only by doing good to others.
