Intelligent is not the one who has higher degrees or is knowledgeable about
numerous subjects, but the one who knows his limits...meaning who is well
aware of his strengths and weaknesses.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
There is no discovery of science that the Jain monks do not describe as already
mentioned in their scriptures. Then how come despite their scriptures being
loaded with facts of knowledge, forget science, no Jaina is seen achieving
anything significant in any field on the global scale. I believe, now they should
start sending their scriptures for the Noble prize.
Have you ever thought; is there any difference between respect and insult?
Respect is what the other gives you and insult is what the other tries to snatch
from you. Thus in both cases, the 'doer'- is the other only...how does it matter to
you?
The human life is not meant for compromises, but to explore and tread the path
of life on the basis of your skills and talents.
Just as extra energy is required to push the space shuttle out of earth's gravitation,
likewise, we also need energy above a certain limit to free the mind from the
influence of brain.
There is no complex in existence, it is we who have identified stones and
diamonds differently. The day you accept yourself as you are instead of trying to
change it, your complex will also disappear... I promise you, that day onwards
you will start getting attuned to nature.
What can be said of the human brilliancy? Every day, it comes up with hundreds
of schemes to bring upon its own destruction.
In pursuit of auspicious time a lot of people delay the "act" even when the time,
situations and conditions are ripe or they tend to act even when circumstances
are not in their favour. These are nothing but the "means" which lead you to your
own end.
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.
