Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Our 'mind' is as old as the existence; whereas our brain is of this birth. Hence, the thinking of mind is boundless whereas in the case of brain, it is limited. Since there is no possibility of unanimity of action between the two, we end up living in confusion.
The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.
It didn't kill them the way reformers like Jesus, Socrates or Mansoor were...
Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
The Muslim community spread across the globe is indeed put in a flux. Their
name gets affiliated with every terrorist activity and certainly the whole community
is bearing the brunt of it. But it is only their inability to raise a voice against
fanaticism that is mainly responsible for it.
In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
Those who are fundamentalists and refuse to listen to anything said against them,
we call them terrorists. Don't you find similar traits in majority of our religious
heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
The person who understands the dynamics of changing circumstances, lives
his life satisfied in the present. Of course, he keeps an eye on how things are
shaping... As a result, the moment he sees anything ready on a platter, he
immediately grabs it with both hands.
Religious gurus are managing their businesses by misleading the world, but
it is a smaller crime. Their greater crime is; not only are they suppressing the
qualities and philosophies of great people, but are also running their businesses
by linking them to useless miracles.
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.
Neither the ones who have created enormous wealth under the shade of religion,
nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from
worldly attachments'.
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.
