Quotations
Religion
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
-Alan Wilson Watts
Religion in fact is not knowledge, but a faith and aspiration.
-Sri Aurobindo
A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
-Deep Trivedi
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.

The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.
