Is there a rebirth? No, not at all. From the perspective of what you think as
your way of being, like your name, your family, your country, society, religion or
wealth, all these will surely cease to exist forever with your death.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Any form of art is the manifestation of God. Whereas, in temples and churches
someone has just been instated in the name of God.
Be it human life or universe, here everything happens according to a set law...
Meaning, the law of nature is one such formula that once understood, you are
not even required to do anything. Just apply the formula and get whatever you
desire.
"The laws of nature" are the supreme authority of the world. Krishna, Buddha
and Christ are also the people who accepting and surrendering to the supremacy
of nature, have dissolved their individual existence i.e. "ego".
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.
Undertaking many tasks at a time distorts the quality of all the tasks. Finishing
them one by one, you can bring each one to fruition.
Flashing of past or future in any form or thinking about it even for a moment...is
nothing but the 'ego'.
In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can be happy and successful.
One, who believe that God is almighty...then whatever good - bad, sin - virtue,
all is happening as per his will; the matter ends. Second, who believe that God
doesn't exist at all and take up all their responsibilities by themselves, again the
matter ends. But since all of us are stuck hanging between the two, we end up
being sad and unsuccessful.
In this world, the bond of love is possible only between two self-reliant individuals,
but the question is, why would two such people live together?
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
problem they have in mingling with people?
