Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from
self-confidence to your existence, it shatters everything. Yet these religious
gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep
feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.

If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false

other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
