Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But
now, the greediness of the priests have increased so much that in the name of
assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
Linking karma with physical acts is the lowest level of intelligence. This
encompasses all the acts right from fasting to rigorous toiling. A wise being links
karma with intent. Pure intent is in itself a good karma. But a supremely intelligent
being views "karma" in the light of its result. Whatever is the final outcome of
your action, is indeed your "true intent".
All the effective knowledge is very much hidden in the deep recesses of human mind. This is the reason, be it melodies of Mozart or Omar Khayyam's rubaiyat, Krishna's Bhagavad Gita or Einstein's formula which transformed the world E=mc2; all of them have stemmed from within.
The principles of our mind and life are far more profound than the principles of
science. In fact, all the discoveries or inventions of science are also attributed to
the principles of mind and life.
The biggest proof of the presence of "witness" is; while indulging in any wrong
doing whether someone knows it or not, there is no such person who himself
does not know that what he is doing, is wrong.
Isn't it funny that we never look into the lives of the great people whom we
worship, to dispel the miseries from our life and see, how much pain they have
endured in their life. The truth is, we fail to understand one simple and basic
fact that as long as there is life, there will be pain; no matter however great the
person may be... Their greatness is not in having a life without hardship but
because of their ability to remain cheerful even when surrounded by miseries.
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'.
Edison, without binding himself to the boundaries of nationality and religion,
desired the betterment of each human being, and invented light bulb; he became
successful. Buddha and Jesus defying their religion and caste worked for the
betterment of all and they too became immortal forever.
What is the difference between us and Buddha, Krishna and Christ? Firstly,
eliminating the negativities of mind, they energized themselves and then they
deployed the same energy for the upliftment of the whole world. And look at us,
we are so inept that we can't even amass 'energy for our own betterment'.
