failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.

wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.
-Deep Trivedi

-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
-Avicenna
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
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
