Feeling a sense of pride on accomplishing something, is a proof that you have
got more than what you deserve.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
When the sustenance of our life is so dependent on the thousands of inventions
of the scientists and the peace, bliss and happiness is bestowed by the great
artists, then how can we revere them any less than Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
What is there to be so proud in being a vegetarian? If you really want to be proud,
then stop using the things invented by non-vegetarians, right from aircrafts, cars,
A/C to even blood tests, when you fall ill.
No teaching, no society nor any of the so-called religion explains to us the
importance of qualities like simplicity, innocence, selflessness or compassion.
Whereas the truth is, all the best creations, inventions and arts have stemmed
from the "consciousness" of people with these qualities.
In families, where there is freedom of speech and anger, there may be few trivial
fights or arguments on daily basis, but there will never be a big quarrel. The root
cause of all the bitterness of life is the anger which is suppressed in people.
No matter how powerful the person is, however great are his feelings for you...
or even if you consider him God; he too, does not hold the authority to guarantee
you a permanent solution for your peace, happiness and prosperity.
When even the smallest of an incident happening to us is a continuity of the
millions of events happening past thousands of years, what calculations have
you engaged your brains in? The person who understands the calculations of
how the occurring events are shaping the circumstances, surely attains whatever
he desires, without any efforts as and when he wants.
No matter how knowledgeable a person is or how compassionate he is; even
for him the body does not deviate from its nature. Like us, even their bodies fall
sick; when poisoned or crucified on the gallows, even they die... Still weaving
miracles around them, isn't it a deliberate attempt to tarnish their personality?
Among many moral stories told to children by their parents, the stories of obedient
children like Rama and Shravana are mostly told with some extra fondness. Are
some parents living with the latent desire to get their children's youth sacrificed
for the sake of their old age?
