Because we know, we are doing wrong, what others think of us holds so much
importance to us.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
No teaching, no society nor any of the so-called religion explains to us the
importance of qualities like simplicity, innocence, selflessness or compassion.
Whereas the truth is, all the best creations, inventions and arts have stemmed
from the "consciousness" of people with these qualities.
Anger, worries, fear, worship, insecurity, jealousy and partiality drag you to
such darker recesses of the mind from where even a blind person seems clear-
sighted. When you have lost the sense to see things in their right perspective,
how could you get anything but failure in life?
Success or failure in life depends on our decisions and for the right decision,
a calm and blissful state of mind is a must. In that context, the most important
teaching of our life is the one that...guides us to attain peace and joy.
The person who knows the functioning of 'his' own mind, can easily understand
everyone else's as well, which is why he is able to reign over them. All our life,
we unnecessarily engage ourselves in understanding others' minds instead of
our own.
The irony is, even the countries who embraced Buddha were no less a wonder.
Buddha didn't believe in the concept of God. He was against every kind of
worship... But they also made him a God and worshipped him... Who cares
how terribly it hurts Buddha?
Is there a rebirth or reincarnation? Definitely yes... But according to the law of
nature, if you do not exist at all, then you cannot be 'born'; and if you exist, you
cannot be destroyed.
'Being child-like' is the most wonderful quality of a human being which is not
worth leaving till the last breath of life. But children who from a very young age
are habituated to being serious, even God will refuse to help them.
Mahavira had renounced clothing... But then why are majority of the clothing
shops owned by the Jains named "Mahavira Vastralaya"?
It is not that Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or Mohammed lacked anything in their
compassion. If they could, they would have eliminated the "pains and miseries" of
human life long back. But the problem is, in this case we have to help ourselves,
no one else can.
