Quotations
Religion
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
Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.
-Christopher Paolini

If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false

other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
-Deep Trivedi
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.

Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
