"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
-Deep Trivedi
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
-Seneca the Younger "Seneca the Younger"
When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity; when many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.
-Robert M. Pirsig
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.
-Frank Zappa
Religion has nothing to do with God, worship, temples, mosques or churches;
it is directly related only to the teachings that take the human mind to newer
unprecedented heights.
-Deep Trivedi
Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.
-Fulton J. Sheen
"Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary"
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
