"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
Don't think you are getting worried because it is a matter of 'worry'; as the same
news yields different intensities of worries in each person.
What is the difference between foolishness and deviousness? The consequences
of both have to be faced equally, anyway.
If you are able to identify your 'being' and your 'nature' separately, you will have
no trouble befalling your way thereafter in life .
Those who are fundamentalists and refuse to listen to anything said against them,
we call them terrorists. Don't you find similar traits in majority of our religious
heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
Neither the ones who have created enormous wealth under the shade of religion,
nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from
worldly attachments'.
Love and anger are two names of the same energy. If you learn to use one
properly...the second by itself gets channelized in fruitful tasks.
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
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?
