In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Only he, who lives freely can enjoy life to the fullest. An egoist can never live
freely. And it is also true, how can a person tied up in numerous bondages do
anything else but die each moment he lives?
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?
The human mind and body share a deep bond, a bond so deep that majority
of our illnesses are psychological. I would even say, weakening of the mind
initiates the process that leads to death.
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
Here the one who walks the path of life instinctively, without being fixated on the
direction or thinking of the destination, surely sails many milestones of "success"
while enjoying the journey of life.
There is no such man known in history whose departure from this world has
stalled the progress of mankind. Meaning, our consciousness has been growing
day by day. But then, why do we still continue to live with the crutches of those
who were born thousands of years ago?
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...
Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits
and sannyasins?
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But
now, the greediness of the priests have increased so much that in the name of
assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
