An intelligent person is the one who can differentiate between the necessary
and the unnecessary things in life.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
To attain the state of non-violence, you need to have an impartial eye. Only if
your attitude is like that of a judge towards everyone including yourself, can the
violence be minimized in our lives.
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?
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?
If you talk of the Hindu religion, majority of their avatars are worldly people...
Then how can these sannyasins be termed religious?
Only he can perpetrate violence on others, who knowingly or unknowingly is
torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.
Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that
suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.
A religious person knows how to embrace things in a right manner; an irreligious
person simply renounces things out of "fear".
To enjoy 'what you have' is understandable; but mourning their loss has always
been beyond comprehension.
