Hindu religion, where all gods are "kings" meaning the ones who look after the
interests of their subjects; how can that religion consider those who build palatial
ashrams from others donations, as religious?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
"Anger" and "Love"...are the only two centres of energy in human life. Religion,
education and society have killed both these in a human being which is why, the
entire mankind is compelled to lead a life of helplessness.
It is not that Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or Mohammed lacked anything in their
compassion. If they could, they would have eliminated the "pains and miseries" of
human life long back. But the problem is, in this case we have to help ourselves,
no one else can.
Only the person who knows how to strike a balance of mind can be happy and
successful in life. Sin - virtue, good - bad are the teachings which disturb the
equilibrium of our mind and unfortunately, these are the teachings which our
religious gurus and scriptures are giving us in abundance. As a result, only one
among millions is able to be happy and successful and that too, he who escapes
their clutches.
All the struggles of life are less dependent on circumstances and more on our
state of mind. This is the reason why "a resolute mind" is easily able to conquer
even the toughest of the problems.
Those who are fundamentalists and refuse to listen to anything said against them,
we call them terrorists. Don't you find similar traits in majority of our religious
heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
Mahavira had renounced clothing... But then why are majority of the clothing
shops owned by the Jains named "Mahavira Vastralaya"?
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
"Anger" and "Love"...are the only two centres of energy in human life. Religion,
education and society have killed both these in a human being which is why, the
entire mankind is compelled to lead a life of helplessness.
