If we stop expecting others to treat us as someone special, all our miseries
will be vanquished. When no one understood the great historical legends, right
from Buddha to Jesus in their times...why do you expect others to "understand
you"?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
The way you are given bitter medicines when you fall sick, the same way you also
need psychological treatment when you suffer from a psychological problem.
This is the reason why people who only talk sweet and sugary, prove fatal for our
life.
If you keep your focus fixed on the 'witness' - the one who is watching rather
than the 'ego' - the doer...your identification with the objects, people and acts will
be severed. The root cause of all the miseries of the world is our attachment with
them.
Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
There is no discovery of science that the Jain monks do not describe as already
mentioned in their scriptures. Then how come despite their scriptures being
loaded with facts of knowledge, forget science, no Jaina is seen achieving
anything significant in any field on the global scale. I believe, now they should
start sending their scriptures for the Noble prize.
Life in other words is to "work" hard for the upliftment of yourself as well as
others and as and when opportunity knocks...thoroughly enjoy yourself. There
cannot be any other purpose of life.
An intelligent person is the one who can differentiate between the necessary
and the unnecessary things in life.
The ''awakened person'' is the one, in whose presence not only the people
around him, but even the existence and the circumstances feel compelled to
fulfil his desires... And to be so awakened is not a difficult task.
Time has taken such a turn that the definition of saints and businessmen
has completely changed. The ones, looting millions of people in the name of
hypocrisy, have come to be known as 'saints'. Whereas, true saints are those,
who have established and expanded businesses by their assiduity and have
given employment to millions of people.
