Quotations
Religion
A religious person knows how to embrace things in a right manner; an irreligious
person simply renounces things out of "fear".
- Deep Trivedi
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.
- Hitopadesa
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
- Frank Warren
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
- Deep Trivedi
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of
assurances and blessings you still need for your life.
- Deep Trivedi
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.
- J. Krishnamurti
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
- Richard Dawkins
What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.
- Søren Kierkegaard
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
