Quotations
Deep Trivedi
Freedom is the ultimate dignity of a human being, please handle it with utmost
care. Neither should you interfere in anyone's life nor let any person, religion,
society or scripture intervene in your life. Because...you are unique and the
only one of your kind. No one like you has ever been born before nor would be.
Hence, your only duty as a human being is to safeguard yourself against all and
make the journey of your life a truly memorable one.
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
What amount of "truth" are you living in can be gauged from the way you perceive
the good-bad events happening with you, and how much of it you attribute to
yourself and how much to others?
The science of mind is completely contrary to the knowledge of the brain. At
the level of mind, as we regret doing the wrong deed, we repeatedly commit the
same act. Hence, at the level of mind, it is advisable to understand, not repent.
Without knowing your own mind, no success can be achieved in life. But to
understand the mind, neither books nor teachings are available. This is the sole
reason for such a miserable failure of human beings.
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?
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.
The amount of "freedom" with which you are living your life, can be determined
by the extent to which you have to suppress your desires under the pressure
from others.
Success or failure in life depends on our decisions and for the right decision,
a calm and blissful state of mind is a must. In that context, the most important
teaching of our life is the one that...guides us to attain peace and joy.
Any task that looks very difficult from a distance, remember...the same once
commenced, never proves to be that difficult.
