Quotations
Religion
Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
- J. Krishnamurti
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
- Avicenna
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
- Richard Dawkins
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
- David Mitchell
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
- Mahatma Gandhi
What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.
- Søren Kierkegaard
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
- Deep Trivedi
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
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
- Dalai Lama
