The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Will science ever be able to create life? No way! The question simply does not
arise because here, no one has the power to create or destroy.
Human life is influenced by seven elements - the laws of existence, his own
nature, his brain, mind, heart, DNA and his own set of experiences. No eighth
element or reason influences him even a bit.
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'.

sayings.
In life, there is nothing that you can simply gain. Here, for every gain, you always
have to lose something. Hence, the people who are apprehensive of losing in
every small matter...can never gain something big.
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.
To get enthused about something before it is achieved, always brings undesired
grievous results. To realize it, you need not go far, just reflect upon a few incidents
of your life...you will understand.
Progressing from bullock-carts to aircrafts, we saved a lot on time but failed to
learn how and where to utilize this spare time. This is the very reason for the
growing frustration in the world.
The human life is not meant for compromises, but to explore and tread the path
of life on the basis of your skills and talents.
In Jain scriptures, the only complete man in the history of the world "Krishna"
is also placed in hell. To the extent that even Buddha, who has enlightened the
whole world has been mentioned by the Jain monks as the one initiated by
"Mahavira". Isn't it the height of their insecurity and inferiority?
