Quotations
Religion
I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
- A Spiritual Leader
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
- Deep Trivedi
What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.
- Søren Kierkegaard
The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.
- Dalai Lama Xiv
Myth is what we call other people's religion.
- Joseph Campbell
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
- Bertrand Russell
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
- Alan Wilson Watts
I am for religion, against religions.
- Victor Hugo
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?
- Deep Trivedi
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
