Quotations
Deep Trivedi
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?
The man who claims himself to be super intelligent gives thousands of opinions
on others and various subjects as if no other person is more intelligent than him;

their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
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.
Progressing from bullock-carts to aircrafts, we saved a lot on time but failed to
learn how and where to utilize this spare time. This is the very reason for the
growing frustration in the world.
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.
