Religion

- J. Krishnamurti

Unless there is a Good Friday in your life, there can be no Easter Sunday.
- Fulton J. Sheen

Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
- Deep Trivedi

- Deep Trivedi

The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
