If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo

In this world, 'the one' who knows the art of learning from each good - bad
incident and who can patiently await the final outcome of each event; 'he' soon
realizes that whatever happens here, can never be wrong.
-Deep Trivedi
There are many things which are difficult for any wise man to understand... Like
the rewards that are bestowed by God in heaven on performing good deeds; the
same when done here are condemned by the religious heads, but then who are
they to condemn it?
-Deep Trivedi
I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.
-Mark Twain
It is important we cultivate love and compassion to all the sentient beings, which is the way to bring peace to all.
At any time, in any form and accepted name, if one is shorn of all attachment, that one is you alone. My Lord! You are one although variously appearing.
These are times when anger, fear and hatred are giving rise to devastating problems throughout the world. But I believe we have a valuable opportunity to make progress in dealing with them, through collaboration between religion and science.
