Quotations
Deep Trivedi
You have your own religion and God, a nation as well as a society. You are
educated also and living with many ambitions and aspirations in mind. You have
many well-wishers too in the name of family and friends. But then it is difficult to
understand, why there are so many failures and miseries in life? Are you facing
the consequences of breaking the ultimate law of nature, "You come alone, go
alone?"
Intelligent is not the one who knows the formula of water i.e. H2O. But intelligent is the one, who realizes when he is thirsty and knows the amount of water to be consumed to quench it.
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.
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.
If a small community shows fanaticism, it is understandable. Their insecurity and
inferiority can still be comprehended. But such a large Muslim community, not
supporting open progressive thoughts is causing damage to itself.
There are two forces strongly present in you; one, your 'witness' and second,
your 'ego'. Ego, the one who is doing the things, and witness, the one who is
watching all that happens.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
In life, if you wish to save yourself from going insane, set your anger and love
free... Suppressing them, both get perverted and assume monstrous forms.
Do you know the difference between 'doing' and 'happening'? Whatever that
you have to do out of compulsion, shows your lack of power and slavery, and
whatever that simply ''happens'' by you is actually the time when you are really
alive.
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.
