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.

Concerned alone with the upholding of the world, you should act. Whatever the best man does, others do that also. The world follows the standard he sets for himself.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita
Birth is a moment. Even death is a moment. The chain of moments spent between
the two is called life. In that case, time is indeed precious. We can bring an end
to all our problems as soon as we analyze... as to where and on what issues we
have been wasting our time.
-Deep Trivedi
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.
-William James
In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.
-Lord Byron
Only by moving with time, one can attain the best possible heights of his life. On
the screen of time, few things are absolutely irrelevant. Mainly two; first, worship
and rituals and second, redundant knowledge. It is because of these two, that
we get separated from time and its results are right in front of our eyes.
-Deep Trivedi
People will ask me: Don’t you believe in God? No, I don’t. I believe in two things above all: Nature and Love. Nature is all-powerful. Love is how I understand the good. It might have been nice to believe in God, often defined as all-powerful and good, but combining the two like that has always posed too much of a contradiction for my poor mind to believe in.
-C. George Boeree
