Quotations
Religion
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion in fact is not knowledge, but a faith and aspiration.
-Sri Aurobindo
All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
-D. S. Sarma
Hanuman is the breath of Rama, the breath of God. God is not far away from us but as close as our breath. Symbolically Hanuman represents the breath, our constant companion and aid along the spiritual path.
-A Spiritual Leader "Tulsidas"
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
-Dalai Lama
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
-Ray Bradbury
