'Fear' and 'greed' are two sides of the same coin. If you manage to save yourself
from one...you will automatically be freed from the other.
Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions
created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
The biggest scourges of human life are fear, false hopes and dependency.
Thanks to the so-called religious hypocrisies, you do not get anything else but
these three.
The ups and downs coming in others' life do not make a difference to you;
because you know that he is the other. If you wish, you can separate your 'being'
from 'yourself' and then like that of others, the ups and downs of your own life will
also not affect you.
"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?
A 'powerful person' is free to express his anger, whereas a 'weaker person' is
compelled to suppress it. Thus in the process, the powerful goes on to become
happier, and the weaker, perverted forever.
Human intelligence lies in making such choices that whatever he desires or
attains out of them...the end result should only be happiness.
It is still in the hands of psychology to free the person from his 'innermost pains
and miseries' that he endures at deeper level; but it is not in anyone's hand to
help him eliminate his ego-driven sorrows. This is where no one else, but only
he can help himself.
