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.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
"Anger" and "Love"...are the only two centres of energy in human life. Religion,
education and society have killed both these in a human being which is why, the
entire mankind is compelled to lead a life of helplessness.
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"?
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
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.
The success of our endeavours does not depend on the quantum of efforts, but
the state of mind engaged...at the time of pursuing the task.
Time is powerful and has millions of facets to it. Only the one who understands
and discerns every facet of time can lead a happy and prosperous life.
Instead of offering namaz five times a day, it is better to develop the habit of
performing five good deeds a day.
Nature's creation is such that whatever is worth attaining or beneficial for us, we
can get it automatically. But in the race to grab the things which are futile and
painful, we miss attaining them only.
