The man who claims himself to be super intelligent gives thousands of opinions
on others and various subjects as if no other person is more intelligent than him;
but ask him about the 'sleep' in which he spends one-third of his lifetime and he
is clueless... Isn't it ironical?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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.
No matter how much ever your brain understands, ultimately it is the "mind"
that needs to be transformed. Because of wrong decisions being taken in an
enraged state of mind, the brain may decide n-number of times not to get angry
again, yet, as soon as there is an inkling of anger in the mind, you will invariably
end up being angry.
If you talk of the Hindu religion, majority of their avatars are worldly people...
Then how can these sannyasins be termed religious?
Among many moral stories told to children by their parents, the stories of obedient
children like Rama and Shravana are mostly told with some extra fondness. Are
some parents living with the latent desire to get their children's youth sacrificed
for the sake of their old age?
Only the person who knows how to strike a balance of mind can be happy and
successful in life. Sin - virtue, good - bad are the teachings which disturb the
equilibrium of our mind and unfortunately, these are the teachings which our
religious gurus and scriptures are giving us in abundance. As a result, only one
among millions is able to be happy and successful and that too, he who escapes
their clutches.
No matter how adverse the circumstances are, never step back when it comes
to "performing your duties" or honouring your responsibilities. If the body wears
out, fuel it with the energy of the mind; if the mind also gets exhausted, pull it
through with the energy of the soul... But no matter what...finish the task taken
in hand.
After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
The vast space of this universe doesn't end anywhere. Think, even if it ends,
what would lie beyond? That too, can't be anything other than space. In such a
certainly infinite universe what sort of things are we worried about?
