We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
Many a times, a person even feels the presence of "Third Force" in his life, but
linking it to God and destiny, he fails to recognize it.
The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.
It didn't kill them the way reformers like Jesus, Socrates or Mansoor were...
Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
Right from communication, necessity, luxury to ailments of the body, whatever
that science has discovered or invented, is actually nothing less than a miracle.
In that case, if we can relate the 'blessings of Science' to our mind rather than
brain, even nature will become envious of our life.
Life is such a business, where for every gain you have to lose something.
'Losing less - Gaining more' is what defines success in business here.
'Big loss - Small gain' is a loss making deal in life... At the same time, depriving
yourself of the gain, out of fear of loss is utter stupidity.
It is not that Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or Mohammed lacked anything in their
compassion. If they could, they would have eliminated the "pains and miseries" of
human life long back. But the problem is, in this case we have to help ourselves,
no one else can.
The person who indulges in self-torturing thoughts like fasting or uprooting his
own hair is bound to perform acts that will cause pain to others. Now you say,
how can such a person who inflicts pain on others ever be happy?
To attain the state of non-violence, you need to have an impartial eye. Only if
your attitude is like that of a judge towards everyone including yourself, can the
violence be minimized in our lives.
Be it life or business, only he grows who not only stands firm wherever he is, but
also remains satisfied with it.
