The biggest problem of the world is the existence of the 50 million odd priests,
monks and the heads of various religious institutions, who in the pretext of being
religious, survive at others' mercy without doing anything fruitful themselves.
If they are compelled to do even farming, I promise that overnight the rate of
grains all across the world will almost be halved.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

-Robert M. Pirsig
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.

What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.
-Hitopadesa "Hitopadesa"
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
-Deep Trivedi
A religious person knows how to embrace things in a right manner; an irreligious
person simply renounces things out of "fear".
-Deep Trivedi
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
-Stephen Covey
In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand
