Mahavira had renounced clothing... But then why are majority of the clothing
shops owned by the Jains named "Mahavira Vastralaya"?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you can accomplish any great task being absorbed in it and that too without
any expectations, believe me, that one act of yours will make you a "historical
person".
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'.
Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from
self-confidence to your existence, it shatters everything. Yet these religious
gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep
feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
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?
A successful person, be it from any field, is always a master of psychology. The
testimony of success lies in his ability to influence others by his talks and acts.
It is true that in each particle of the existence, there is a reflection of God. But
then it is difficult to understand, why temples exist separately?
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the
difference between 'thinking' and 'worrying'. Reflecting upon it, however complex
a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But
now, the greediness of the priests have increased so much that in the name of
assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
If a small community shows fanaticism, it is understandable. Their insecurity and
inferiority can still be comprehended. But such a large Muslim community, not
supporting open progressive thoughts is causing damage to itself.
