Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Among many moral stories told to children by their parents, the stories of obedient
children like Rama and Shravana are mostly told with some extra fondness. Are
some parents living with the latent desire to get their children's youth sacrificed
for the sake of their old age?
Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?
Before teaching, scolding, advising or giving opinion to children, every parent
of the world should look deep into their lives and question themselves, are they
really successful in their life? Is it not possible that a child, without holding the
hand of his parents, has the potential to surpass them purely on the basis of his
own decisions and freedom?
In this universe sun, air, water, all are busy performing their functions, but have
no aspirations. Nothing to gain. When we will also learn to engage ourselves
in endeavours without any ambition or expectation, we will reach the ultimate
height of satisfaction.
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
If you keep your focus fixed on the 'witness' - the one who is watching rather
than the 'ego' - the doer...your identification with the objects, people and acts will
be severed. The root cause of all the miseries of the world is our attachment with
them.
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.
The person who knows the functioning of 'his' own mind, can easily understand
everyone else's as well, which is why he is able to reign over them. All our life,
we unnecessarily engage ourselves in understanding others' minds instead of
our own.
In nature, there are only two focal points of energy; one, 'anger' and second,
'love'. But unfortunately, Science simply does not know how to view from the
perspective of Psychology. Here the energy is created either by the friction of
two things i.e. 'anger' or by the union of two things i.e. 'love'.
