Quotations
Religion

heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
-Deep Trivedi
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the

us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
-Deep Trivedi

"Inward Ho!"
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
