In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Just look at your poor "foresight" and you will realize; the things that you are so
keen to achieve, once accomplished, in a matter of few days begin to pinch you
like a thorn.
Instead of offering namaz five times a day, it is better to develop the habit of
performing five good deeds a day.
Now the time has come for all the open-minded, intelligent Muslims to come
forward and form a powerful association. If they themselves don't show courage
or care about their fellow brothers...why would someone else?
Feeling a sense of pride on accomplishing something, is a proof that you have
got more than what you deserve.
What are the traits of an awakened person? First, his comings and goings are
only as per his wish. Second, no reason of the outside world can influence him
and third, whatever he is once determined to do, he breathes only when it is
brought to fruition.
What do we call brilliancy? An attitude of applying more than required. But then
what is the need to apply more than that is needed? That in itself is a kind of
foolishness.
How strange are we? We don't have claws like a tiger, yet we growl at others,
don't have venom like snakes, yet harbour animosities; don't have wings like
birds, still keep flying in the fantasy world. When you do not possess any human
quality, how will you achieve success in life?
The "truth" of every moment is new, different and ever changing. Hence, the
things said thousands of years ago could be true in the context of "time, situation
and circumstances" prevalent at that time, but it is not necessary that they hold
relevance even today.
Quite often in our attempt to solve the problems we end up inching closer to
them. Generally problems come and go, there really is nothing much for you to
do in it.
