Quotations
Religion
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.

act whenever, whatever, however is necessary for the benefit of all...is religious;
the rest all are irreligious.

assurances and blessings you still need for your life.

Why did the intelligent people of the world lose interest in religion? Because
instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were
presented with the Bible and Vedas concocted by the religious gurus.
-Deep Trivedi
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

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