-Sathya Sai Baba "Sri Sathya Sai Baba"
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
-Deep Trivedi
How can living life to the fullest with much passion, fun and happiness or moving
towards success, ever be irreligious? Irreligiousness itself begins with renouncing
the things out of fear.
-Deep Trivedi
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
-David Mitchell

it is directly related only to the teachings that take the human mind to newer
unprecedented heights.
-Deep Trivedi
It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.
-Albert Einstein
I have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.
-Bill Maher
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
