Perceiving her son endowed with the characteristics of Vishnu, Devaki prayed: You are the Illuminator of all psycho-physical organisms, the indefinable Reality, which the Vedas declare as the unmanifest cause… When the universe is dissolved by force of Time, the gross elements are ultimately merged in ahankara (their cause)…
Only that, which influences everyone everywhere equally is the blessing of God
like sun, moon, air, water and human life. How could having different scriptures
and diverse beliefs for various religions ever be termed as being religious?
-Deep Trivedi
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
-Ray Bradbury
"he October Country"
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
-José Saramago
"Death with Interruptions"
The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.
-Abu'l Ala Al Ma'arri
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
-Richard Dawkins
"The God Delusion"
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).
God has no religion.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
