Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
-Deep Trivedi
I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
Everyone is proud of his caste and religion. Please for once, observe yourself
and the people around you carefully - the pride will disappear by itself. And only
then, embracing the world you will be able to tread the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
-Jorge Luis Borges
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
