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.

To uphold righteousness, so supreme an act did he perform; he gave his head, but did not utter a word of sorrow.

In this world, there are only two kinds of people who can be happy and successful.
One, who believe that God is almighty...then whatever good - bad, sin - virtue,
all is happening as per his will; the matter ends. Second, who believe that God

matter ends. But since all of us are stuck hanging between the two, we end up
being sad and unsuccessful.

God enters by a private door into every individual.
