The irony is, even the countries who embraced Buddha were no less a wonder.
Buddha didn't believe in the concept of God. He was against every kind of
worship... But they also made him a God and worshipped him... Who cares
how terribly it hurts Buddha?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If any achievement of your life goes to your head and you are gripped by ego...
then understand that you have reached your limit to grow. Now there can be only
one way to go and that is downwards.
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?
If you wish to understand mind and life, then religion or institutes will not be
able to teach you. For that, you will have to carefully observe all the natural
phenomena and events unfolding around you.
After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
There is no dearth of talent in India. The problem is that the Indian government
simply does not know how to pursue 'Personality Promotion' at the international
level.
To attain the state of non-violence, you need to have an impartial eye. Only if
your attitude is like that of a judge towards everyone including yourself, can the
violence be minimized in our lives.
If you really wish to strengthen your individuality and accomplish something
great in life, then recognize the presence of "witness". Only because it is there,
you can feel that you are working.
There is no dearth of life in this universe. There are few who are similar to us and
many who are different. The only obstacle in knowing this, is the infinity of the
universe along with the limited progress of life.
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
