We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.

Quotations
Religion

failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.

person simply renounces things out of "fear".
-Deep Trivedi

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.

'Yes' is theism and 'No' is atheism. In life the number of things that you have firmly
abstained from...shows how irreligious you are. The meaning of irreligiousness
itself is the denial of God's creations.
-Deep Trivedi
