Can't you keep the soil of your mind firm? Yes you can, if you shift your focus
from the pains and pleasures of life to your "being" and keep it steadfast there.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Wonder, how can these Jain monks consider all the good things right from
sumptuous meals, good clothes to being fresh and fragrant also a taboo? In that
case, according to them all the animals should be considered "Pure Jain".
The principles of our mind and life are far more profound than the principles of
science. In fact, all the discoveries or inventions of science are also attributed to
the principles of mind and life.
If you wish to understand mind and life, then religion or institutes will not be
able to teach you. For that, you will have to carefully observe all the natural
phenomena and events unfolding around you.
What are we? We are the medium between God and the World. If I elaborate

Every individual 'ego' wants to reach the top of the world but the beauty of nature
is such that only a 'non-egoist' gets to sit on the summit of ego.
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'.
When the sustenance of our life is so dependent on the thousands of inventions
of the scientists and the peace, bliss and happiness is bestowed by the great
artists, then how can we revere them any less than Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
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.
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.
