Actually when I was making that first post, I had an uneasy feeling. There was something missing but I did not care that time. I was just blinded by the fact that I live in a muslim country. Usually here in Pakistan children are brought up in strict religious environment and even in their childhood they memorise a good part of the "Holy Quran". Also the people around you are commonly muslim. Here we treat the "Holy Quran" with utmost care.
But in an non-muslim country I think the situation is different. So a person literally carrying "Quran" with himself may get more benefit than leaving it in the home. As he can recite it and also can give it as a gift to a non muslim friend. So the benefits derived by keeping it with yourself are far greater than the sin of accidently carrying it in some dirty place. But I think there one can also take care that before going into a dirty place one can leave the "Holy Book" with someone etc.
A good muslim is a walking and talking Quran but that is not in a physical sense it is rather spiritual thing and you just can not leave your spirit out when going into a toilet.
