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
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
"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?
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
Those who are fundamentalists and refuse to listen to anything said against them,
we call them terrorists. Don't you find similar traits in majority of our religious
heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
Believing life to be of 60 years, we live our entire life considering it to be "One"
unit. This is the reason, why memories of the past and fear of the future keep
haunting us. Whereas in reality, life is the culmination of billions of moments put
together. Hence, each moment - a new moment. And when each moment is a
new moment... then which past and whose future?
Bible, Quran and Vedas have been proven wrong on many instances. It is any
day better to devote the precious human life to the cause of humanity living life
to the fullest, rather than sacrificing it on their altar.
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.
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"?
