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"
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Religion is just mind control.

towards success, ever be irreligious? Irreligiousness itself begins with renouncing
the things out of fear.
