Hindu religion, where all gods are "kings" meaning the ones who look after the
interests of their subjects; how can that religion consider those who build palatial
ashrams from others donations, as religious?
Quotations
Deep Trivedi
If you carefully look at the vastness of the universe or the enormous depths
of the ocean with awareness even for a second, all your sorrows will get
dissipated; because then you will be left with no pride of being someone "great"
or "exceptional".
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.
If you meet people with powerful and positive vibrations, you immediately get
charged with energy. Meeting a person with negative thinking instantly drains
out our energy... Think, what would be the condition of a person who himself is
negative?
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.
Please do not fall in the trap of old and faulty teachings. Clearly understand that
suppressing any feeling at the level of mind yields only disastrous results.
Here in life, the people who set very high goals and intelligently formulate the
plan of action to attain the same... usually die utilizing one thousandth of their
potential.
We are religious gurus. What do we do? Whatever you do, we brand it as a
sin... Meaning, despite being dependent on your donations, we abuse you. Still
this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
Always safeguard yourself from rules and resolves. Machines can be switched
on and off at a fixed time regularly, whereas for mind, the dawn is when you
wake up. Understand this difference between man and machine and save your
life from becoming mechanical.
