Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
Mahavira had renounced clothing... But then why are majority of the clothing
shops owned by the Jains named "Mahavira Vastralaya"?
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
A true 'lover' is the one, in whom his beloved can find not only a lover, but also a
friend, father, guru, brother, son, all of them.
Any form of art is the manifestation of God. Whereas, in temples and churches
someone has just been instated in the name of God.
In Jain scriptures, the only complete man in the history of the world "Krishna"
is also placed in hell. To the extent that even Buddha, who has enlightened the
whole world has been mentioned by the Jain monks as the one initiated by
"Mahavira". Isn't it the height of their insecurity and inferiority?
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.
There are millions and billions of people living in this world, who do not worship
or visit any temple, mosque or church and the truth is, they are living life much
more happily and peacefully. But today, no one in this world is living without the
application of "science". Try to live without it and you will realize what 'hell' is.
God is dead, atleast in the sense that neither can he stop you from achieving
what you are capable of, nor can he give you anything more than what you
deserve.
