Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you have full confidence in your personality, the respect and insults of others
will have no effect on you.
There is no discovery of science that the Jain monks do not describe as already
mentioned in their scriptures. Then how come despite their scriptures being
loaded with facts of knowledge, forget science, no Jaina is seen achieving
anything significant in any field on the global scale. I believe, now they should
start sending their scriptures for the Noble prize.
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?
Are we Hindu and Indian? Christian and American?... Or a unique human being
born on this earth? The choice that you make here will decide the path of your
life.
What is the difference between a theist and an atheist? An atheist is the one
who fails to recognize the ultimate supremacy of nature; hence he is trying to
enhance life with the help of the knowledge cultivated by his brain. A theist is
the one who does not apply his brain at all. He completely surrenders to the
existence, allowing nature to make and mould him as it deems right.
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.
In this world of infinite "Time and Space", if you could not decipher the rationale
of your 6 feet long body coming into existence for about 60 years, then whatever
you did, learnt or achieved is all useless.
In life, if you observe carefully, no one minds doing the wrong deeds or saying
wrong things, but definitely take exception to being understood wrong. Isn't it
astonishing?
As in many people, the brain slows down with age, in some cases, even liver
functioning slows down or gives up in later years and then they have to eat light
and simple food. But here the question is; what about those, who are eating
simple and light food at the peak of their youth? Nothing else, the weak liver
leaves them prone to many illnesses.
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
