The person who indulges in self-torturing thoughts like fasting or uprooting his
own hair is bound to perform acts that will cause pain to others. Now you say,
how can such a person who inflicts pain on others ever be happy?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth sits on an 'Ullu' (An owl is called 'Ullu' in Hindi
which also means a fool)...but here, 24 x 7 we are busy fooling each other. Even
if Laxmi wants to, on whom would she sit?
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
What is the difference between us and Buddha, Krishna and Christ? Firstly,
eliminating the negativities of mind, they energized themselves and then they
deployed the same energy for the upliftment of the whole world. And look at us,
we are so inept that we can't even amass 'energy for our own betterment'.
Only that, which influences everyone everywhere equally is the blessing of God
like sun, moon, air, water and human life. How could having different scriptures
and diverse beliefs for various religions ever be termed as being religious?
When you are doing what everyone else is doing, why cry and crib...? What is
happening to all, is happening to you as well.
A king is the one, who is the master of himself. You are just a slave of your
religion, caste, creed, society, thinking, desires and worries.
Only he can perpetrate violence on others, who knowingly or unknowingly is
torturing himself. Otherwise he, who loves himself, can never cause harm to
anyone.
Why don't you look after your parents while they are still alive, so that 'out of guilt'
you don't have to perform their Shraddh after their death.
You are a part of the existence, but the problem of your life is; propelled by
selfishness, you are trying to create a different world for yourself.
