The soul dwelling within each one of us is the most powerful energy of the
universe. And this soul is only the supreme power. Now despite knowing and
understanding all this, if we still visit temples, mosques and religious places...
then does it show anything other than distrust on our own soul?
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Soul
For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
