If you carefully look at the vastness of the universe or the enormous depths
of the ocean with awareness even for a second, all your sorrows will get
dissipated; because then you will be left with no pride of being someone "great"
or "exceptional".

To attain the state of non-violence, you need to have an impartial eye. Only if

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.
Why did the intelligent people of the world lose interest in religion? Because
instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were
presented with the Bible and Vedas concocted by the religious gurus.
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
A detached human being is the one who is neither in the race to achieve
something nor is anxious to renounce anything.
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
All the knowledge possessed by science regarding the human body is based

from tobacco lifelong...majority of the heart attacks are suffered by those who
do not have high cholesterol levels.
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
In today's time, the influence of wealth has increased so much that the wealthy
do not need to possess any other good quality in themselves.
