If you talk of the Hindu religion, majority of their avatars are worldly people...
Then how can these sannyasins be termed religious?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
In history, we remember and respect only those who have the courage to stand
apart from the crowd and speak the "truth". Like Buddha, who despite being
born into a Hindu family defied Hindu traditions, its hypocrisies and established
Buddhism. Likewise, even Jesus, born into a Jewish family, revolted against
Jewish traditions and lost his life, or "Krishna" who not only opposed every
prevalent tradition, but even broke them all his life. Do you still wish to continue
being a Hindu, Muslim or Christian?
Undertaking many tasks at a time distorts the quality of all the tasks. Finishing
them one by one, you can bring each one to fruition.
Without knowing your own mind, no success can be achieved in life. But to
understand the mind, neither books nor teachings are available. This is the sole
reason for such a miserable failure of human beings.
In life, if you observe carefully, no one minds doing the wrong deeds or saying
wrong things, but definitely take exception to being understood wrong. Isn't it
astonishing?
"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?
The concept of "God" has come into existence because of fear. ‘Fear’ is the
offspring of insecurity and desire... The interesting part is, you don't need either
of these after death.
What great things are we going to accomplish that we apply so much of brain?
Imagine, if the earth stops to think even for a second, whether I should revolve
or not, what would happen? Wouldn't our very existence be destroyed?
There are many things which are difficult for any wise man to understand... Like
the rewards that are bestowed by God in heaven on performing good deeds; the
same when done here are condemned by the religious heads, but then who are
they to condemn it?
The ultimate height of human intelligence is understanding the ''science of mind''.
Intelligence at a secondary level is the understanding of principles of "time and
space" and its impact. Surprisingly, even people who know neither of these, still
consider themselves to be intelligent.
