I had a thousand questions to ask God; but when I met him they all fled and didn't seem to matter.

"Inward Ho!"
Quotations
Religion
Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from
self-confidence to your existence, it shatters everything. Yet these religious
gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep
feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
-Deep Trivedi
Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams
by inculcating the unnecessary feeling of 'sinfulness' in you. What kind of Hindu
are you and what kind of saints are these?
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.
-Fulton J. Sheen
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of
assurances and blessings you still need for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
-David Mitchell
"The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet"
The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.
-Dalai Lama Xiv
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
