There is no other enemy of a human being except his own nature.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Why don't we understand the simple fact that we have to spend the major part
of our life with ourselves. Then why do we depend on other people or things and
invite sorrows? Obviously, how can a person who is so dependent on others for
his happiness, ever be happy?
The irony is, even the countries who embraced Buddha were no less a wonder.
Buddha didn't believe in the concept of God. He was against every kind of
worship... But they also made him a God and worshipped him... Who cares
how terribly it hurts Buddha?
You are a part of the existence, but the problem of your life is; propelled by
selfishness, you are trying to create a different world for yourself.
Since human consciousness has traversed its journey from an amoeba to a
human being on the Principle of Evolution, if you note carefully, each one of us
will find many animal instincts within ourselves. To get rid of these instincts is the
first and foremost duty of every human being.
In the universe, everything has its own individual nature. No element of existence
has any confusion with regards to their nature except the intelligent human being,
who is absolutely clueless about his own nature.
The entire human life is driven by mind, and mind functions according to its
laws... In that case, what can be more important in human life than knowing and
understanding these laws of mind?
What do we call brilliancy? An attitude of applying more than required. But then
what is the need to apply more than that is needed? That in itself is a kind of
foolishness.
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 person who is being fooled is at no lesser fault than the one who fools him.
The only difference is; one is punished by the court of law...whereas the other
gets punished on his own.
