Quotations
Religion
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
- David Mitchell
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
What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.
- Hitopadesa
You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
- Scriptures
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
- Robert G. Ingersoll
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.
- J. Krishnamurti
All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
- D. S. Sarma
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
- José Saramago
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
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.
- Deep Trivedi
