Our biggest problem is the complete contrast in the nature of brain and mind.
Majority of the people do not even realize the separate existence of the two.
As a result, their entire life gets crumbled and destroyed in the constant friction
between their brain and mind.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
It is said, 'If God is kind, even a donkey can roar like a lion'... Indeed it is true; but
in this world of intelligent men, where is the readiness in many people to become
"natural"?
Trusting oneself helps you gain self-confidence whereas leading life depending
upon others, be it even God, dwindles your confidence. And only those who are
full of confidence become successful in life.
Nature has no interference in human life. A human being is absolutely free from
nature's side. In that case, if not the person himself, who else is responsible for
all his happiness and sorrows?
What can be said of the human brilliancy? Every day, it comes up with hundreds
of schemes to bring upon its own destruction.
What is the difference between us and Buddha, Krishna and Christ? Firstly,
eliminating the negativities of mind, they energized themselves and then they
deployed the same energy for the upliftment of the whole world. And look at us,
we are so inept that we can't even amass 'energy for our own betterment'.
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
The human mind and body share a deep bond, a bond so deep that majority
of our illnesses are psychological. I would even say, weakening of the mind
initiates the process that leads to death.
There are about 330 million gods and goddesses described in Hindu scriptures.
Even on the basis of the population at present, this works out to be around
one God for every 3 individuals. Still looking at the conditions prevalent in our
country, they seem to be busy elsewhere... I feel rather than relying on them, it
is high time that we engage ourselves for the welfare of our country.
