Quotations
Deep Trivedi
It is not that Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or Mohammed lacked anything in their
compassion. If they could, they would have eliminated the "pains and miseries" of
human life long back. But the problem is, in this case we have to help ourselves,
no one else can.
Every problem that comes in life need not be taken care of by us. Majority of
them are best left to nature's justice.
When justice is to be served on the judgment day anyway, then by raising arms
and killing innocent people today, what is it that these terrorists are trying to
justify?
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
There exists a harmony in nature, a sense of mutual co-operation. Even all our
body parts are well co-ordinated with each other. It is only we, who swagger and
proudly claim ourselves to be Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist or Christian. The day we
become just human, even we will have harmony amongst us.
A human being is absolutely independent; therefore whatever happens to him
is completely his own responsibility. The one who holds others responsible,
repeatedly commits the same mistakes again and again.
Hindu religion has accepted the ones, wearing necklaces of human skulls, having
wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.
For a sensible person, the matter worth thinking about is, in the history of past
5000 years, what has been the role of millions of saints, priests and religious
agents in the betterment of the world, and in comparison what has been the
contribution of 500 scientists?... All that we need to decide is, who is genuinely
more compassionate towards mankind?
What is more valuable, the car or you? Certainly you... Then instead of the car,
why don't you wear a necklace of lemon and chillies, as it is you, who is more at
risk.
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.
