In the past 50 years, what joy and happiness has been offered by the politicians
and religious heads to the people of our country? And in comparison, what is
it that has not been bestowed by our legendary singers like Mohammed Rafi,
Kishore Kumar or Lata - Asha... Thanks to their voices, even today people get to
live a life of bliss and serenity for at least two hours a day.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of
assurances and blessings you still need for your life.

and sannyasins?

If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering

cheaper than religion.
-Deep Trivedi
Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
-Lenny Bruce
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
