Since like a horse you have blind-folded yourself from both the sides, you cannot
see anything other than your own religion and culture; and that is why, your
religious gurus have been feeding you dry grass covering your eyes with green
glasses.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.
-Hitopadesa "Hitopadesa"
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
-Dalai Lama
In the past 50 years, what joy and happiness has been offered by the politicians
and religious heads to the people of our country? And in comparison, what is
it that has not been bestowed by our legendary singers like Mohammed Rafi,
Kishore Kumar or Lata - Asha... Thanks to their voices, even today people get to
live a life of bliss and serenity for at least two hours a day.
-Deep Trivedi
Everyone is proud of his caste and religion. Please for once, observe yourself
and the people around you carefully - the pride will disappear by itself. And only
then, embracing the world you will be able to tread the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
There are many things which are difficult for any wise man to understand... Like
the rewards that are bestowed by God in heaven on performing good deeds; the
same when done here are condemned by the religious heads, but then who are
they to condemn it?
-Deep Trivedi
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
