-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
-Dalai Lama

-Deep Trivedi

"The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet"
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"
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
I had a thousand questions to ask God; but when I met him they all fled and didn't seem to matter.
-Christopher Morley
