If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false
hopes"; then today itself the shutters of all the temples, mosques, churches and
other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
In the past 50 years, what joy and happiness has been offered by the politicians
and religious heads to the people of our country? And in comparison, what is
it that has not been bestowed by our legendary singers like Mohammed Rafi,
Kishore Kumar or Lata - Asha... Thanks to their voices, even today people get to
live a life of bliss and serenity for at least two hours a day.
-Deep Trivedi
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
-Deep Trivedi
Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
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
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
-David Mitchell
"The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet"
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
-George Bernard Shaw
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
-Deb Caletti
