The one who on demand of time, situation and circumstances can carry out an
act whenever, whatever, however is necessary for the benefit of all...is religious;
the rest all are irreligious.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
Hindu religion has accepted the ones, wearing necklaces of human skulls, having
wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.
-Deep Trivedi
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
The Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?
-Deep Trivedi
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"
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.
-Hannah Harrington
"Saving June"
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of
assurances and blessings you still need for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
