The concept of "God" has come into existence because of fear. ‘Fear’ is the
offspring of insecurity and desire... The interesting part is, you don't need either
of these after death.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
Today, the entire mankind swears and survives by the support of wealth only.
Now, even religious, political and social institutes are deeply involved in this blind
race of wealth. In such a case, how could any wealth be left for the common
man?
When you are doing what everyone else is doing, why cry and crib...? What is
happening to all, is happening to you as well.
'Fear' and 'greed' are two sides of the same coin. If you manage to save yourself
from one...you will automatically be freed from the other.
In existence, no human being is perfect. Every person has his own unique
nature and individual field of expertise. Even those, whom we know as gods
were unaware of the knowledge of science all their life.
I would say harbouring negativities and even the acts driven by such emotions
are not wrong but what is wrong is, because of them your life gets filled with
sorrows and failures.
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?
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the
difference between 'thinking' and 'worrying'. Reflecting upon it, however complex
a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.
Many a times despite feeling hungry we observe fast and at times inspite of
having an urge to play, we go to school... We don't even remember when and
how did these teachings to kill the natural desires begin?
