-Hitopadesa "Hitopadesa"
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Since like a horse you have blind-folded yourself from both the sides, you cannot
see anything other than your own religion and culture; and that is why, your
religious gurus have been feeding you dry grass covering your eyes with green
glasses.
-Deep Trivedi
What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.
-Søren Kierkegaard
If you talk of the Hindu religion, majority of their avatars are worldly people...
Then how can these sannyasins be termed religious?
-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 Hindu world has always accepted 'religion' in its totality; as their 'God' who is free from all attachments has not denied anything, right from wine to dance and violence for the destruction of evil to the worldly life… Then on what grounds, these proprietors of Hindu religion term the 'life fancier' people (the ones indulging in pleasures of life) as sinners and themselves religious?
-Deep Trivedi
I want Jesus to come back and say 'THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT!'
-Margaret Cho
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
-José Saramago
"Death with Interruptions"
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
-Richard Dawkins
