Quotations
Religion

Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
- J. Krishnamurti

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'.
- Deep Trivedi

Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
- Bertrand Russell

They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
- Deb Caletti

Don't know why religious people and their religious sentiments are so weak that
they get hurt every now and then... As such it is understandable, the slightest
tremor is enough to cause the debilitated structures to collapse.
- Deep Trivedi

The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
- Deep Trivedi

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
- Seneca the Younger

The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
- Deep Trivedi

We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
- Deep Trivedi

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
- Stephen Covey
