There is no other enemy of a human being except his own nature.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
Considering only your belief system to be true, you have been supporting it
firmly for ages. But why don't you understand that without taking constructive
criticism in your stride, it is impossible to tread the right path as per the need
of time. It is the law of human consciousness that the more one is open to his
own criticism, the more refined he gets. Only because of their own fanaticism,
the Muslim brothers all over the world are practically deprived of the immense
compassion of "intelligent" people.
Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions
created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.
No one feels the necessity to become good or learn something good, but nobody
ever misses out on an opportunity to portray oneself good.
Life is another name for "struggle". Sanyas - the renunciation is the name for
running away from struggle. If you wish to live like a human being who is truly
alive, then you must learn to live amidst struggles.
If you mould yourself according to time and let yourself flow with the changing
circumstances, see, what you will soon transform into.
Why don't you simply understand that events are happening outside and your life
is within you. Then whatever happens outside, why should your life be affected
by it ? It does, because you forcibly perceive yourself being attached to it.
You have your own religion and God, a nation as well as a society. You are
educated also and living with many ambitions and aspirations in mind. You have
many well-wishers too in the name of family and friends. But then it is difficult to
understand, why there are so many failures and miseries in life? Are you facing
the consequences of breaking the ultimate law of nature, "You come alone, go
alone?"
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
