Edison is Edison because experiments come to him naturally and he lets it flow
from his inner being. We are compelled to work, so we are unsuccesful. Whereas
Buddha, Krishna and Jesus are the people whose each and every action is a
happening induced by nature.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you want to understand the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or any great
philosopher, you will have to learn to differentiate and dissect their sayings
in two parts, one, 'eternal truth' and second, 'the truth relevant at that time'.
Without distinguishing the two, you will invariably end up misunderstanding their
sayings.
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
The horse who wins the race, but does not know the difference between dry and
green grass, for how long can he sustain himself in the race? Same is the case
with people who attain higher degrees or are scholars, but still do not understand
the realities of life.
In existence, no human being is perfect. Every person has his own unique
nature and individual field of expertise. Even those, whom we know as gods
were unaware of the knowledge of science all their life.
It is not that Buddha, Krishna, Jesus or Mohammed lacked anything in their
compassion. If they could, they would have eliminated the "pains and miseries" of
human life long back. But the problem is, in this case we have to help ourselves,
no one else can.
Only two kinds of deeds can be termed auspicious; one, wherein you get the
pleasure but not at the cost of others. (Mind here, it does not include the imaginary
or ego-driven losses) and second, the task, which if completed benefits millions
of people.
I would say harbouring negativities and even the acts driven by such emotions
are not wrong but what is wrong is, because of them your life gets filled with
sorrows and failures.
Tampering with nature and natural substances always costs us dear. We are
also bearing the consequences of tampering with our nature only.
God has chosen us as the medium between him and the world, so that whatever
he sends...we distribute in the world and what he desires...we glean it from the
world and deliver it to him.
