There are about 330 million gods and goddesses described in Hindu scriptures.
Even on the basis of the population at present, this works out to be around
one God for every 3 individuals. Still looking at the conditions prevalent in our
country, they seem to be busy elsewhere... I feel rather than relying on them, it
is high time that we engage ourselves for the welfare of our country.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
The root of all our miseries is not being mentally prepared for a situation. I cannot
understand, why don't you accept that what happens to others, can always
happen to you as well!
Ego simply doesn't know how to strike a balance. Either it stays immersed in the
worldly matters or getting distressed, takes 'sanyas' - renounce the world... But
to lead a normal life while being mentally detached from the world is something
that it just does not know.
When your destination is long and far and when the odyssey has to be
journeyed by crossing many milestones, it is good to be excited by the little
accomplishments coming your way, but to lose alertness or become careless
because of excitement, will prove to be a deviation from your final destination.
Population can be a liability as well as an asset. If every citizen works, only then
can population be an asset. When one person earns and supports four, it is
dangerous not only for the family, but even for the country... In that case, where
is the question of fostering these pundits and sannyasins?
As science needs "energy" to change the form of any matter, even you need
energy to transform your nature. If you don't have the energy, even if you desire,
you will not be able to bring a change in yourself.
The principles of our mind and life are far more profound than the principles of
science. In fact, all the discoveries or inventions of science are also attributed to
the principles of mind and life.
For a week, you just closely observe the vibrations arising in your mind, events
unfolding around you and the functioning of nature. You will realize that other
than your false hopes and unfounded fears, no one needs "God".
Sin - virtue, respect - disrespect, good - bad, success - failure, are all divisions
created by the brain. At the level of mind, they are nothing but useless notions.
If you wish to understand mind and life, then religion or institutes will not be
able to teach you. For that, you will have to carefully observe all the natural
phenomena and events unfolding around you.
