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".
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
No matter how grave a problem you are stuck in, to resolve it you must know the
difference between 'thinking' and 'worrying'. Reflecting upon it, however complex
a problem may be, it soon gets solved; whereas worrying about the problem,
you are consumed by it.
How could a person who is busy trying to amass more than a moment, ever
be successful in a world which is enlightened by just one facet of time i.e
'present'?
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.
The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?
If you always want to be happy in life, toy with troubles as if it were a game. See;
whether you defeat the problems or they defeat you.
Why did the intelligent people of the world lose interest in religion? Because
instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were
presented with the Bible and Vedas concocted by the religious gurus.
There is no dearth of life in this universe. There are few who are similar to us and
many who are different. The only obstacle in knowing this, is the infinity of the
universe along with the limited progress of life.
As in many people, the brain slows down with age, in some cases, even liver
functioning slows down or gives up in later years and then they have to eat light
and simple food. But here the question is; what about those, who are eating
simple and light food at the peak of their youth? Nothing else, the weak liver
leaves them prone to many illnesses.
If you really wish to strengthen your individuality and accomplish something
great in life, then recognize the presence of "witness". Only because it is there,
you can feel that you are working.
