Quotations
Religion
We are religious gurus. What do we do? Whatever you do, we brand it as a
sin... Meaning, despite being dependent on your donations, we abuse you. Still
this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
-Deep Trivedi
The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.
-Abu'l Ala Al Ma'arri
It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.
-Albert Einstein
Myth is what we call other people's religion.
-Joseph Campbell
What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.
-Hitopadesa "Hitopadesa"
We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
-Deep Trivedi
Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
-Scriptures "Samayasara, 153"
I had a thousand questions to ask God; but when I met him they all fled and didn't seem to matter.
-Christopher Morley
"Inward Ho!"
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
