Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
Quotations
Religion
Religions grow when religious leaders die.
-J. Krishnamurti

-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from
self-confidence to your existence, it shatters everything. Yet these religious
gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep
feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
-Deep Trivedi
All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.

-Christopher Paolini
"Brisingr"
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
