Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
-Deep Trivedi

"Saving June"
The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.
It didn't kill them the way reformers like Jesus, Socrates or Mansoor were...
Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
-Deep Trivedi
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
-Deep Trivedi
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
"The October Country"
I had a thousand questions to ask God; but when I met him they all fled and didn't seem to matter.
-Christopher Morley
"Inward Ho!"
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
