A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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'?
The biggest treasure of a human being is his "power of imagination". Instead
of utilizing it for making a discovery or melody or exploring the avenues of
business...we waste it on imaginary worries and finding fictitious Gods to resolve
it.
"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.
Any form of art is the manifestation of God. Whereas, in temples and churches
someone has just been instated in the name of God.
In life, if you wish to save yourself from going insane, set your anger and love
free... Suppressing them, both get perverted and assume monstrous forms.
What is the difference between a theist and an atheist? An atheist is the one
who fails to recognize the ultimate supremacy of nature; hence he is trying to
enhance life with the help of the knowledge cultivated by his brain. A theist is
the one who does not apply his brain at all. He completely surrenders to the
existence, allowing nature to make and mould him as it deems right.
If God is to be defined in one sentence, then 'God' is the elementary force
prevailing with all its three dimensions...that is, law, energy and desire for
evolution, in each and every atom of this existence.
Haven’t you ever felt the "suddenness" factor of existence in your life? Pay
attention, you are trying to remember something, but can't; then suddenly it
flashes. You make innumerable attempts to achieve something, but fail... Then
one fine day, when even you have forgotten that you wanted to achieve something
like this, suddenly you get it.
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.
