Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?
In today's time, the influence of wealth has increased so much that the wealthy
do not need to possess any other good quality in themselves.
I am one of your those religious gurus, who upon realizing that I have no qualities
to grow in life like art, science, the spirit of hard work or any qualification have
opened a shop of promises and blessings... And see, today I possess the land
bank spread over acres, my own ashram and thousands of intelligent followers
like you.
Among many moral stories told to children by their parents, the stories of obedient
children like Rama and Shravana are mostly told with some extra fondness. Are
some parents living with the latent desire to get their children's youth sacrificed
for the sake of their old age?
Just look at your poor "foresight" and you will realize; the things that you are so
keen to achieve, once accomplished, in a matter of few days begin to pinch you
like a thorn.
'Do your karma without worrying about the fruits of your action.' This is the most
wonderful shloka recited by the most intelligent man of this world "Krishna",
in the most unique granth the "Bhagavad Gita". The irony is, all our worships,
rituals, fasting, vastu, astrology are the acts performed with the expectations of
desired results.
No problem ever comes into existence without a solution... Meaning, no matter
however complex a problem is, there is always a way to resolve it.
There is only one way to fight adverse circumstances... Whatever you can, you
must immediately do and then wait...if even after waiting, you are unable to find
a solution, then accept it and think ahead.
After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth sits on an 'Ullu' (An owl is called 'Ullu' in Hindi
which also means a fool)...but here, 24 x 7 we are busy fooling each other. Even
if Laxmi wants to, on whom would she sit?
