We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi

assurances and blessings you still need for your life.
