Religion
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

Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).

- Scriptures
What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.
- Søren Kierkegaard
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
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
- Alan Watts
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality, lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
- Deep Trivedi
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb

What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.

- Hitopadesa
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
- Deep Trivedi
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our shutters ever be pulled down?
- Deep Trivedi
