'Fear' and 'greed' are two sides of the same coin. If you manage to save yourself
from one...you will automatically be freed from the other.

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.
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
'Yes' is theism and 'No' is atheism. In life the number of things that you have firmly
abstained from...shows how irreligious you are. The meaning of irreligiousness
itself is the denial of God's creations.
There are only two ways to reach the right decision; either you know everything
about it or accept you know nothing... Know for sure, the earlier is just an
illusion.
Leaving everything else aside, you first have to establish communication between
yourself and the supreme power. As soon as the communication is established,
all your illusions will be shattered. And the one who doesn't have any "illusion",
who can stop him from mounting the pinnacle of success?
There is no complex in existence, it is we who have identified stones and
diamonds differently. The day you accept yourself as you are instead of trying to
change it, your complex will also disappear... I promise you, that day onwards
you will start getting attuned to nature.
If you trust auspicious time and astrology so much, then when a family member
suffers from a heart attack, why do you immediately rush him to the hospital?
Why don't you first check the auspicious time and then leave for the hospital and
get him operated only after his horoscope matches with the doctor?
Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
"Buddha" is such a wonder of time who was not only born in India but for forty
five years he even delivered discourses in India. But just because he opposed
the Hindu hypocrisies, India evicted his precious treasure from its soil. In its
history of past 2000 years, this is the biggest loss accrued to India.
