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?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
Human intelligence lies in making such choices that whatever he desires or
attains out of them...the end result should only be happiness.
The one who is causing harm to himself is not bad, but the one, who is causing
harm to others is... As far as the person himself is concerned, he has always
been free.
Here at the most what you can become is, as your nature moulds you in the
process of life. Yes, in an effort to become something else, you can always get
ruined. So, as long as possible please do not try to tamper with your nature.
Life is another name for "struggle". Sanyas - the renunciation is the name for
running away from struggle. If you wish to live like a human being who is truly
alive, then you must learn to live amidst struggles.
Those who are fundamentalists and refuse to listen to anything said against them,
we call them terrorists. Don't you find similar traits in majority of our religious
heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
Only in India, the Goddess of Wealth is harassed by worshipping her for the
sake of prosperity... Perhaps annoyed by such large scale harassment she has
turned her back on us. Wouldn't it be better if we further our faith only in our
"actions" to prosper in life?
The Jain monks, who claim their scriptures to be more knowledgeable and
advanced than science, by walking barefoot and uprooting hair with their own
hands, which scientific age prescribed in their scriptures do they want to drive
mankind to?
