Mahavira had renounced clothing... But then why are majority of the clothing
shops owned by the Jains named "Mahavira Vastralaya"?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
How do we even expect our life to change for the better, when the reins of our life
are in the hands of those who read our palms for 100 rupees, suggest auspicious
time for 200 rupees and sell idols for 500 rupees?
A detached human being is the one who is neither in the race to achieve
something nor is anxious to renounce anything.
No matter however dreadful a form the problem manifests itself in, it surely has
some or the other definite solution in time or space. All that you need to do is,
without panicking, reflect upon it from the depths of your mind.
"Anger" and "Love"...are the only two centres of energy in human life. Religion,
education and society have killed both these in a human being which is why, the
entire mankind is compelled to lead a life of helplessness.
"Truth" is not an act done at the physical level or an act performed driven by
emotions. Truth is the outcome of that particular action. If someone has used
abusive language for your betterment, then how did he abuse you?... He has
only desired a positive change in you.
What is more valuable, the car or you? Certainly you... Then instead of the car,
why don't you wear a necklace of lemon and chillies, as it is you, who is more at
risk.
It is against nature to pre-decide, what is to be done the next moment. But
surprisingly, people even decide right from what they aspire to become in future
to when should they visit temples and observe fasts. Now, if you act so much
against nature, of course you will have to bear the brunt of it.
Life in other words is to "work" hard for the upliftment of yourself as well as
others and as and when opportunity knocks...thoroughly enjoy yourself. There
cannot be any other purpose of life.
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
