When you are doing what everyone else is doing, why cry and crib...? What is
happening to all, is happening to you as well.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
In today's time, the influence of wealth has increased so much that the wealthy
do not need to possess any other good quality in themselves.
It is not that the world has deteriorated today. You perceive the world as you are.
The world has been the same from the very beginning; neither has there been
a virtuous age (Dharma yuga) nor a sin age (Papi yuga). Here, everything has
always been dependent on an individual's perspective with which he looks at it.
Are these 'Christians' really the followers of Jesus Christ, who for the sake of
all had happily embraced crucifixion? Despite speaking the truth, the manner in
which Galileo was treated by the Pope and priests in the name of the Bible, it
does not seem so.
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?
Human intelligence lies in making such choices that whatever he desires or
attains out of them...the end result should only be happiness.
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?
Here at the most what you can become is, as your nature moulds you in the
process of life. Yes, in an effort to become something else, you can always get
ruined. So, as long as possible please do not try to tamper with your nature.
If you closely observe life, you will find, here with every pleasure there is pain...
and with every pain, pleasure. Hence, among all that is happening, if you keep
your eyes fixed only at the brighter side of it, you can always be happy.
"Time" is such a flow that it puts even an exemplary person like "Krishna" to
the deep sleep of death. But the life that he lived and the Bhagavad Gita that
he recited, immortalizes him forever. Even you have to die, then why not do
something that immortalizes you forever.
