The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
-Swami Vivekananda
Quotations
Religion
We are religious gurus. What do we do? Whatever you do, we brand it as a
sin... Meaning, despite being dependent on your donations, we abuse you. Still
this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
-Deep Trivedi
Since like a horse you have blind-folded yourself from both the sides, you cannot
see anything other than your own religion and culture; and that is why, your
religious gurus have been feeding you dry grass covering your eyes with green
glasses.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
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!"
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
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
-Frank Warren
"PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God"
I have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.
-Bill Maher
Religious gurus are managing their businesses by misleading the world, but
it is a smaller crime. Their greater crime is; not only are they suppressing the
qualities and philosophies of great people, but are also running their businesses
by linking them to useless miracles.
-Deep Trivedi
All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
-D. S. Sarma
