Since like a horse you have blind-folded yourself from both the sides, you cannot
see anything other than your own religion and culture; and that is why, your
religious gurus have been feeding you dry grass covering your eyes with green
glasses.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
There is no such man known in history whose departure from this world has
stalled the progress of mankind. Meaning, our consciousness has been growing
day by day. But then, why do we still continue to live with the crutches of those
who were born thousands of years ago?
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
Here in life, the people who set very high goals and intelligently formulate the
plan of action to attain the same... usually die utilizing one thousandth of their
potential.
'Joy' emanates only from those actions which bear fruits instantly. 'Act' today and
'result' tomorrow, such karmas can only impart pains and pleasures.
In life, no one can only be bad. Even the worst of human being has many good
qualities hidden in him. The one who only looks at the better part of people, lives
his life in utter bliss and peace.
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
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.
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?
