"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?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Intelligent is not the one who has higher degrees or is knowledgeable about
numerous subjects, but the one who knows his limits...meaning who is well
aware of his strengths and weaknesses.
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.
Tampering with nature and natural substances always costs us dear. We are
also bearing the consequences of tampering with our nature only.
When the entire world is running the race of wealth, how could doctors protecting
the human body lag behind? All the parameters of our blood tests have been
devised in such a manner that some or the other irregularity would surely appear
in the report, so that their medicines continue to sell.
No matter how knowledgeable a person is or how compassionate he is; even
for him the body does not deviate from its nature. Like us, even their bodies fall
sick; when poisoned or crucified on the gallows, even they die... Still weaving
miracles around them, isn't it a deliberate attempt to tarnish their personality?
Existence is governed by its own law. Here, the things impermanent by nature
are bound to meet their end. Hence, with the passage of time, not only Ravana's
Lanka but "Krishna's" Dwarka also sinks.
Every individual 'ego' wants to reach the top of the world but the beauty of nature
is such that only a 'non-egoist' gets to sit on the summit of ego.
In the past 50 years, what joy and happiness has been offered by the politicians
and religious heads to the people of our country? And in comparison, what is
it that has not been bestowed by our legendary singers like Mohammed Rafi,
Kishore Kumar or Lata - Asha... Thanks to their voices, even today people get to
live a life of bliss and serenity for at least two hours a day.
