Jains insist on having their separate food counters even at others' weddings. It
is really difficult to understand, though they seem to be okay otherwise, what

Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The childishness of a human being is; on one hand, he is competing to take
credit for success, on the other hand, he is always seeking out an opportunity to
blame someone else for his failure. Consequently, he is never able to analyze
any event accurately.
"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?
Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
Irrespective of your relation with a person, to an extent possible, you should
never interfere in anyone’s personal life because at present, even you don't
have an idea of what is good and bad. Till the time you are not aware of the
difference between pains and pleasures of the ego and joys and sorrows of the
soul, it is better to stay away from others’ lives.
Here, there is no difference in the functioning of 'energy' and 'matter', ultimately
even matter exists only because of energy. (Energy meaning 'that' which governs
everything including us)
It is not that the Muslim community is not changing, but the pace is too slow.
Why don't they understand that without adapting oneself to the changing world,
one cannot really tread the path of progress.
After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
Generally, people believe black colour to be inauspicious, but when their hair
grow grey, the same people colour them black. Now how could you call them
anything but hypocrites?
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.
