It is difficult to understand, why do people keep doing such things throughout
the year, that every year they feel the need to ask for forgiveness by saying
"Michchami Dukkadam"?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
God is dead, atleast in the sense that neither can he stop you from achieving
what you are capable of, nor can he give you anything more than what you
deserve.
If you continuously wish to take best decisions in life, then stop taking decisions
out of "greed" of getting something or "fear" of losing something.
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.
I am one of your those religious gurus, who upon realizing that I have no qualities
to grow in life like art, science, the spirit of hard work or any qualification have
opened a shop of promises and blessings... And see, today I possess the land
bank spread over acres, my own ashram and thousands of intelligent followers
like you.
If brain is the centre of thoughts, liver is the centre of body. As brain becomes
inactive when not used, liver gets weak by long term dieting and eating simple
food.
No teaching, no society nor any of the so-called religion explains to us the
importance of qualities like simplicity, innocence, selflessness or compassion.
Whereas the truth is, all the best creations, inventions and arts have stemmed
from the "consciousness" of people with these qualities.
What is the difference between foolishness and deviousness? The consequences
of both have to be faced equally, anyway.
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.
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...
Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits
and sannyasins?
