Quotations
Religion
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
- Ray Bradbury
Everyone is proud of his caste and religion. Please for once, observe yourself
and the people around you carefully - the pride will disappear by itself. And only
then, embracing the world you will be able to tread the path of progress.
- Deep Trivedi
We must remember that the test of our religious principles lies not just in what we say, not only in our prayers, not even in living blameless lives - but in what we do for others
- Harry S. Truman
Hindu religion has accepted the ones, wearing necklaces of human skulls, having
wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.
- Deep Trivedi
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
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
- Dalai Lama
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
- Bertrand Russell
Why did the intelligent people of the world lose interest in religion? Because
instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were
presented with the Bible and Vedas concocted by the religious gurus.
- Deep Trivedi
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
- Deep Trivedi
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
- Alan Watts
