The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson
How can living life to the fullest with much passion, fun and happiness or moving
towards success, ever be irreligious? Irreligiousness itself begins with renouncing
the things out of fear.
-Deep Trivedi
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
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"
If you talk of the Hindu religion, majority of their avatars are worldly people...
Then how can these sannyasins be termed religious?
-Deep Trivedi
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
-Jorge Luis Borges
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"
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it within.
-Charles H. Spurgeon
