Before leading your life depending upon God, just check, does he really have
the authority to be partial and do any good for you?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
People who have become historical figures are the ones, who have done
something new. Then let that innovation be in the field of science, religion,
business, music, literature or even movie-making. The matter worth thinking
about is; is there anything new, in all that we are being offered in the name of
'religion and education' or are we just blindly swallowing it up?
It is not that the Muslim community is not changing, but the pace is too slow.
Why don't they understand that without adapting oneself to the changing world,
one cannot really tread the path of progress.
A person who offers namaz five times a day, dot on time, when and how can he
ever become an "Edison"?
Why don't you look after your parents while they are still alive, so that 'out of guilt'
you don't have to perform their Shraddh after their death.
One 'beautiful-mind' indeed weighs heavy over thousand creations of nature
and that is why from Socrates to Kabir, all hold such great importance.
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.
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
Isn't it funny that we never look into the lives of the great people whom we
worship, to dispel the miseries from our life and see, how much pain they have
endured in their life. The truth is, we fail to understand one simple and basic
fact that as long as there is life, there will be pain; no matter however great the
person may be... Their greatness is not in having a life without hardship but
because of their ability to remain cheerful even when surrounded by miseries.
Your mind functions like a computer. It is only you, who has the authority to enter
or delete the data from it. But giving this right to others, you have corrupted the
computer of your mind.
