Mahavira had renounced clothing... But then why are majority of the clothing
shops owned by the Jains named "Mahavira Vastralaya"?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Religious gurus are managing their businesses by misleading the world, but
it is a smaller crime. Their greater crime is; not only are they suppressing the
qualities and philosophies of great people, but are also running their businesses
by linking them to useless miracles.
"Time" is such a flow that it puts even an exemplary person like "Krishna" to
the deep sleep of death. But the life that he lived and the Bhagavad Gita that
he recited, immortalizes him forever. Even you have to die, then why not do
something that immortalizes you forever.
Neither lavish living is a sin nor simple living a virtue; but pretending and portraying
other than what we are or what we have, is certainly our hypocrisy.
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.
Have you ever thought; is there any difference between respect and insult?
Respect is what the other gives you and insult is what the other tries to snatch
from you. Thus in both cases, the 'doer'- is the other only...how does it matter to
you?
There are millions and billions of people living in this world, who do not worship
or visit any temple, mosque or church and the truth is, they are living life much
more happily and peacefully. But today, no one in this world is living without the
application of "science". Try to live without it and you will realize what 'hell' is.
Many a times, our unessential understanding becomes the cause of our problem,
yet we can't resist applying our brain in every trivial matter.
What do we call brilliancy? An attitude of applying more than required. But then
what is the need to apply more than that is needed? That in itself is a kind of
foolishness.
Be it life or business - when do they reach their pinnacle? When you do something
innovative or create something new. Meaning "power of creativity" is required for
both to flourish and prosper.
