All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.

Quotations
Religion
The measure in which a person is blind in the field of religion, he is equally blind
in understanding all the other truths of life. This is the reason why the world is full
of mentally and intelligently blind people.
-Deep Trivedi
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
-Alan Wilson Watts
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

and sannyasins?
-Deep Trivedi
There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
-Stephen Covey
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
-Thomas Paine
"The Age Of Reason"
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
What is religion?
