Quotations
Religion
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
-Swami Vivekananda
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Self-Reliance and Other Essays"
Only that, which influences everyone everywhere equally is the blessing of God
like sun, moon, air, water and human life. How could having different scriptures
and diverse beliefs for various religions ever be termed as being religious?
-Deep Trivedi
I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Singh"
The whole world is so-called religious...barring a few intellectuals. But then
where does all the anger, miseries, worries, envy, hatred and failure come from?
... Because, conquering all these feelings is only religiousness.
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-Deep Trivedi
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of
assurances and blessings you still need for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
