It is not that the IQ of an average Indian is lower than that of the people of
developed countries. The only difference is, they know how to use it constructively
and they also have a conducive environment for the same. Whereas in case of
Indians, the entire intelligence gets wasted in image building and in dealing with
other's smartness.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
Trusting oneself helps you gain self-confidence whereas leading life depending
upon others, be it even God, dwindles your confidence. And only those who are
full of confidence become successful in life.
How can living life to the fullest with much passion, fun and happiness or moving
towards success, ever be irreligious? Irreligiousness itself begins with renouncing
the things out of fear.
Just as extra energy is required to push the space shuttle out of earth's gravitation,
likewise, we also need energy above a certain limit to free the mind from the
influence of brain.
For a sensible person, the matter worth thinking about is, in the history of past
5000 years, what has been the role of millions of saints, priests and religious
agents in the betterment of the world, and in comparison what has been the
contribution of 500 scientists?... All that we need to decide is, who is genuinely
more compassionate towards mankind?
What can be said of the human brilliancy? Every day, it comes up with hundreds
of schemes to bring upon its own destruction.
A human being is absolutely independent; therefore whatever happens to him
is completely his own responsibility. The one who holds others responsible,
repeatedly commits the same mistakes again and again.
What are the traits of an awakened person? First, his comings and goings are
only as per his wish. Second, no reason of the outside world can influence him
and third, whatever he is once determined to do, he breathes only when it is
brought to fruition.
