Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Ultimate freedom means to live life freely with ''self-discipline''. Ego means
living by the thousands of disciplines borrowed from vice - virtues, religion and
society.
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?
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
The kind and quantum of what you possess is not the proof of your being rich...
but yes, what and how much you still want to attain surely reveals how poor you
are.
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.
Your mind functions like a computer. It is only you, who has the authority to enter
or delete the data from it. But giving this right to others, you have corrupted the
computer of your mind.
Only two kinds of deeds can be termed auspicious; one, wherein you get the
pleasure but not at the cost of others. (Mind here, it does not include the imaginary
or ego-driven losses) and second, the task, which if completed benefits millions
of people.
In reality, what you are is not that important as "are you really what you portray
yourself to be?"
In this world, there is only one way to lead a life of truth - "either you consider
everyone dead including yourself or you treat all others at par with yourself."
Undertaking many tasks at a time distorts the quality of all the tasks. Finishing
them one by one, you can bring each one to fruition.
