Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Don't know where and when did the concept of God in the form of human, his
imaginary powers...and fantasies like heaven and hell begin? Whatever be the
case, today they have become a source of livelihood for more than 50 million
pundits, priests and maulvis.
The human mind and body share a deep bond, a bond so deep that majority
of our illnesses are psychological. I would even say, weakening of the mind
initiates the process that leads to death.
What can be said of the human brilliancy? Every day, it comes up with hundreds
of schemes to bring upon its own destruction.
If pilgrimages were so sacred then why do thousands of pilgrims become victims
of accidents every year? Is God venting his anger on those, who despite being
born as human beings continue to harass him?
Neither lavish living is a sin nor simple living a virtue; but pretending and portraying
other than what we are or what we have, is certainly our hypocrisy.
The childishness of a human being is; on one hand, he is competing to take
credit for success, on the other hand, he is always seeking out an opportunity to
blame someone else for his failure. Consequently, he is never able to analyze
any event accurately.
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
There is nothing wrong in having any kind of fancy in life or any physical act, if
done appropriately. Likewise, there is no virtue in visiting temples or worshipping
either. The goodness of being human lies in the qualities like compassion, self-
confidence, self-dependence and innocence which are tainted by attributes like
jealousy, partiality, selfishness and stubbornness.
In life, if anything "unexpected or unforeseen" happens with you or around you,
then it is nothing but the manifestation of your foolishness.
Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
