Wonder, how can these Jain monks consider all the good things right from
sumptuous meals, good clothes to being fresh and fragrant also a taboo? In that
case, according to them all the animals should be considered "Pure Jain".
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The more you become natural, the more energy you get from nature. Always
remember, your own energy is very miniscule in order to make your life
successful.
If you wish to accomplish your ‘interests’ propelled by selfishness, you will not be
able to. If you try to get others' interests fulfilled sacrificing yourself, it will never
happen. But yes, if you keep everyone's interests in mind including yours, you
will surely be successful.
The root cause of all miseries lie hidden in "Me and Mine". If it is my wealth, then
the pain of losing it, if it is my body, then the affliction of sickness... Whereas in
reality, there is nothing yours other than the feeling of your "Being".
Human intelligence lies in making such choices that whatever he desires or
attains out of them...the end result should only be happiness.
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.
As in many people, the brain slows down with age, in some cases, even liver
functioning slows down or gives up in later years and then they have to eat light
and simple food. But here the question is; what about those, who are eating
simple and light food at the peak of their youth? Nothing else, the weak liver
leaves them prone to many illnesses.
Tampering with nature and natural substances always costs us dear. We are
also bearing the consequences of tampering with our nature only.
Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?
The "truth" of every moment is new, different and ever changing. Hence, the
things said thousands of years ago could be true in the context of "time, situation
and circumstances" prevalent at that time, but it is not necessary that they hold
relevance even today.
