Quotations
Religion
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"
What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.

same when done here are condemned by the religious heads, but then who are
they to condemn it?

grains all across the world will almost be halved.
-Deep Trivedi
I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
