Quotations
Deep Trivedi
What are the traits of an awakened person? First, his comings and goings are
only as per his wish. Second, no reason of the outside world can influence him
and third, whatever he is once determined to do, he breathes only when it is
brought to fruition.
We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
If you trust auspicious time and astrology so much, then when a family member
suffers from a heart attack, why do you immediately rush him to the hospital?
Why don't you first check the auspicious time and then leave for the hospital and
get him operated only after his horoscope matches with the doctor?
If you wish to accomplish your ‘interests’ propelled by selfishness, you will not be
able to. If you try to get others' interests fulfilled sacrificing yourself, it will never
happen. But yes, if you keep everyone's interests in mind including yours, you
will surely be successful.
Our biggest problem is the complete contrast in the nature of brain and mind.
Majority of the people do not even realize the separate existence of the two.
As a result, their entire life gets crumbled and destroyed in the constant friction
between their brain and mind.
In a child's brain, nothing like good - bad, mine - yours or vice - virtue exist. By
way of conditioning, all these are fed into his system. Likewise, the child's liver
cannot take spicy or fried food, for that too it needs to be trained.
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...
Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits
and sannyasins?
The one who accepts defeat, before he is defeated or gives up before death,
how can he be considered alive?
Ego simply doesn't know how to strike a balance. Either it stays immersed in the
worldly matters or getting distressed, takes 'sanyas' - renounce the world... But
to lead a normal life while being mentally detached from the world is something
that it just does not know.
