Wonder, how can these Jain monks consider all the good things right from
sumptuous meals, good clothes to being fresh and fragrant also a taboo? In that
case, according to them all the animals should be considered "Pure Jain".
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
God is dead, atleast in the sense that neither can he stop you from achieving
what you are capable of, nor can he give you anything more than what you
deserve.
Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth sits on an 'Ullu' (An owl is called 'Ullu' in Hindi
which also means a fool)...but here, 24 x 7 we are busy fooling each other. Even
if Laxmi wants to, on whom would she sit?
The day you surely find yourself capable of doing and achieving, what any
person dead or alive in this world could, understand your human birth has been
successful.
An auspicious time is not something to be looked for in calendars or panchangs.
The moment when time, opportunity, circumstances and conditions fall in place,
that becomes an auspicious time. It is as simple as "Once the bride and groom
are ready, what is the need for a pastor!"
Behind all fears of man, there is only one fear, the fear of death. The one who
conquers this fear is bound to win over fear itself.
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?
Our biggest problem is the complete contrast in the nature of brain and mind.
Majority of the people do not even realize the separate existence of the two.
As a result, their entire life gets crumbled and destroyed in the constant friction
between their brain and mind.
Birth is an illusion, so is death. Truth is the element which makes both these
extremes of life meet. The day you recognize it, from then onwards, whenever,
whatever and how much ever you desire...you will get it.
