Only that, which cannot be separated from you even after death is yours; and
that cannot be anything other than your "self-contentment".
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
What can be said of the human brilliancy? Every day, it comes up with hundreds
of schemes to bring upon its own destruction.
It is true that in each particle of the existence, there is a reflection of God. But
then it is difficult to understand, why temples exist separately?
Because we suppress our anger against the strong and powerful, we keep
venting our anger on the weak, irrespective of the reason.
What is the definition of happiness? The feeling that arises when you are acting
according to your nature, is called "Happiness".
No parallel can be drawn for human love. When an old person is spending his
time in loneliness, nobody bothers to check his well-being. But when he falls
sick, tens of people visit him in hospital and hundreds of people gather when he
dies.
To show the path of life many a times a 'foe'...is far more helpful than friends.
Thanks to them, you not only remain alert, but at times they also prove to be a
source of encouragement for you... In that case, where is the place for hatred in
this world?
Life is only the present. Here, the moment once gone, is gone forever. It can
never come back. At the same time, no moment of future arrives with prior
intimation. Hence, this travel back and forth in the past and future, is nothing but
the manifestation of our fears. There is nothing worthwhile in it.
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
