Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
-Deep Trivedi
I am for religion, against religions.
-Victor Hugo
It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.
-Albert Einstein
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Self-Reliance and Other Essays"
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
-Deep Trivedi
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
-Avicenna
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.
-Issac Asimov
You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
-Scriptures "Tao Te Ching 14"
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.
-Thomas Jefferson
