Mahavira had renounced clothing... But then why are majority of the clothing
shops owned by the Jains named "Mahavira Vastralaya"?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The root of complex gets strengthened by competitive teachings. Nothing in this
world can be more foolish than comparing two things or two individuals.
There is no complex in existence, it is we who have identified stones and
diamonds differently. The day you accept yourself as you are instead of trying to
change it, your complex will also disappear... I promise you, that day onwards
you will start getting attuned to nature.
Many a times, a person even feels the presence of "Third Force" in his life, but
linking it to God and destiny, he fails to recognize it.
Edison is Edison because experiments come to him naturally and he lets it flow
from his inner being. We are compelled to work, so we are unsuccesful. Whereas
Buddha, Krishna and Jesus are the people whose each and every action is a
happening induced by nature.
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.
Only he, who has a ''mind devoid of thought'' can live life like a human being. If
you have any inhibition, principles, a fixed mindset or an obstinate nature, others
will keep using you like an object.
What is more valuable, the car or you? Certainly you... Then instead of the car,
why don't you wear a necklace of lemon and chillies, as it is you, who is more at
risk.
Hindu religion has accepted the ones, wearing necklaces of human skulls, having
wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.
The Jain monks, who claim their scriptures to be more knowledgeable and
advanced than science, by walking barefoot and uprooting hair with their own
hands, which scientific age prescribed in their scriptures do they want to drive
mankind to?
