Mahatria Quotes (Infinitheism)

Having called you my friend, "Even if my eyes reports an action of yours which doesn't look right, I will never question your intentions, Karna." I call you a friend, I go and tell everybody that, you are my best friend. But whenever I see an action in you which is not something I can endorse, I start questioning your intentions itself. That's not called friendship. Else don't call somebody a friend. And here was Karna, having realized, it's nothing of me and everything of you, I will discipline my intelligence. My intelligence will not judge you anymore. When you have decided not to judge, there is no perspective of right and wrong. He had given himself that gift!!! - Mahatria (Part - 2/2)

Happy MDay!!!

Everybody say, Karna had one weakness. What Duryodhana did was right for him. He never told Duryodhana, he was wrong. The statement we use to define surrender, "Nothing of me, everything of you." In Karna's case, everybody else having forsaken him, the situation actually was, in Duryodhana stepping forward Karna became something. "Nothing of me, everything of you, Duryodhana." If I had felt in the heart of my heart, in the context of any relationship, nothing of me and everything of you, I think, I have lost my right to judge after that. Karna disciplined himself not to use his intelligence to judge Duryodhana. And to me, to that extent Duryodhana also stands there!!! - Mahatria (Part - 1/2)

Every time I've listened to the wife's side of the story, the mother's side of the story and one thing has been constant, "I am right; the other is wrong. Endorse it." Life doesn't run by right and wrong. It runs on maturity. If your wife and mother are at loggerheads, now you have a situation to manage, you have decisions to make, and standpoints to take. Problems in a family exist not because it involves people, but because it involves immature people. Even if one mature mind is present, the situation can be managed and harmony built. It is not enough to look at your yesterday with today's maturity. You need to live your today with tomorrow's maturity. For him future awaits!!! - Mahatria

I had seen the entire source code in oracle for computerization in the shelves of systems room. One hour later, it was missing. I knew, one among the people working there has slipped it into their bag. I said, "Whoever thinks, out of stolen stuff they can come up in life, let them take it and realize experientially otherwise." Sure, somebody took it and went. But I can tell you, I have been so peaceful in life just because I have trusted everybody, and I have not seen anybody who has betrayed that trust, and made it anything worthwhile in life either. The greatest gift we can gift unto ourselves is to trust the intentions of people, unless they work very hard to prove otherwise!!! - Mahatria

When you do not spontaneously communicate your thoughts and express your feelings, you begin to distort them. You tend to exaggerate or diminish the truth to placate your suppressed feelings. When you cannot face it, you tend to deny it. What you cannot accept, you pretend not to care about it. The secret of emotional health is to tell the persons who hurt you, that they hurt you, when they hurt you. Otherwise, these incomplete cycles will re-appear sometime in the future and ruin even your good times. Emotional stress is purely due to thoughts not communicated and emotions not expressed. Emotional illness is a storage disease. Let us learn to face the truth, even if it hurts!!! - Mahatria

Duryodhana tells Krishna, "Krishna, I know what is right but I am not able to indulge in it. I know what is wrong but I am not able to avoid it." It's called "Duryodhana predicament." When we deal with this Duryodhana predicament with people, how do we go through this? First by understanding that, there is a Duryodhana within you still. I like what Felice Leonardo Buscaglia said, "I will not expect perfection from you, till I make myself perfect." And then added, "Which means you are safe for this lifetime." Man is a continuous process of moving from imperfection towards perfection, that's what growth is all about. In fact, if all of us are perfect, there will be no more growth!!! - Mahatria
