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
Quotations
Religion
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of
assurances and blessings you still need for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
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
I am for religion, against religions.
-Victor Hugo
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.
-Fulton J. Sheen
"Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary"
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
-Thomas Paine
"The Age Of Reason"
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
-Thomas Paine
