A human being is absolutely independent; therefore whatever happens to him
is completely his own responsibility. The one who holds others responsible,
repeatedly commits the same mistakes again and again.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
'Fear' and 'greed' are two sides of the same coin. If you manage to save yourself
from one...you will automatically be freed from the other.
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".
What is the difference between foolishness and deviousness? The consequences
of both have to be faced equally, anyway.
What are we? We are the medium between God and the World. If I elaborate
further, then we are the screens whose only duty is to bring the producer's film
to its viewers.
The best state of mind is balanced by two extremes. But we, driven by brain, try
to embrace one and discard the other. It is this discrimanatory practice that has
brought all our good - bad, sin - virtue into existence.
There is nothing wrong in having any kind of fancy in life or any physical act, if
done appropriately. Likewise, there is no virtue in visiting temples or worshipping
either. The goodness of being human lies in the qualities like compassion, self-
confidence, self-dependence and innocence which are tainted by attributes like
jealousy, partiality, selfishness and stubbornness.
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.
The Jain monks, who claim their scriptures to be more knowledgeable and
advanced than science, by walking barefoot and uprooting hair with their own
hands, which scientific age prescribed in their scriptures do they want to drive
mankind to?
Anything in life can be achieved solely by working towards it. "Action" is the
name for a deed performed intelligently. The capable person never leaves it to
destiny because he simply cannot believe in it.
