If you have full confidence in your personality, the respect and insults of others
will have no effect on you.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Religion has nothing to do with God, worship, temples, mosques or churches;
it is directly related only to the teachings that take the human mind to newer
unprecedented heights.
Generally, people believe black colour to be inauspicious, but when their hair
grow grey, the same people colour them black. Now how could you call them
anything but hypocrites?
Feeling a sense of pride on accomplishing something, is a proof that you have
got more than what you deserve.
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
In life, whatever you achieve by putting in efforts will never give you happiness,
as the pain starts right from the time of making an effort. On the other hand, the
tasks that you enjoy doing, persist for long spells; then whatever you gain out of
it, the end result will always be both positive and effective for your life.
If you can accomplish any great task being absorbed in it and that too without
any expectations, believe me, that one act of yours will make you a "historical
person".
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
To attain the state of non-violence, you need to have an impartial eye. Only if
your attitude is like that of a judge towards everyone including yourself, can the
violence be minimized in our lives.
