Many a times despite feeling hungry we observe fast and at times inspite of
having an urge to play, we go to school... We don't even remember when and
how did these teachings to kill the natural desires begin?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The person who is being fooled is at no lesser fault than the one who fools him.
The only difference is; one is punished by the court of law...whereas the other
gets punished on his own.
It is against nature to pre-decide, what is to be done the next moment. But
surprisingly, people even decide right from what they aspire to become in future
to when should they visit temples and observe fasts. Now, if you act so much
against nature, of course you will have to bear the brunt of it.
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?
In this world of infinite "Time and Space", if you could not decipher the rationale
of your 6 feet long body coming into existence for about 60 years, then whatever
you did, learnt or achieved is all useless.
Things without which our life simply cannot sustain... like air, water and
gravitational force; all are equally available to everyone for free. For a man of
reason, this holds not one, but thousand implications.
There is no dearth of talent in India. The problem is that the Indian government
simply does not know how to pursue 'Personality Promotion' at the international
level.
The entire past of a person is like a dustbin. Whenever one puts his hand in and
tries to take anything out, no matter what it is, it will surely stink. Similarly, all his
aspirations for future resemble the desire to fly like a bird, whenever he will try,
he is bound to fall hard and hit the ground.
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;
because you know that he is the other. If you wish, you can separate your 'being'
from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
