wise-sayings

Love is a light of liberty.

Resentment lies in the heart of fools.

All the beauty lies in the sacredness of the heart.

God lives in and through the human mind, and not in any church, synagogue, temple or mosque.

India was and to some extent, still is, a nation where its citizens care more about their religious freedom than any other earthly possession. Give them food or not, it doesn__ matter to them, as long as they are allowed to practice their religion. But, take away their religion, they will fight till the last breath of their life.

The traditional Indian mind has been for centuries, and still is, first religious, and then everything else.

In India, it is religion that forms the very core of the national heart. It is the backbone - the bed-rock - the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built.

Faith in God is optional, but faith in the self _ in the spirit within, is imperative.

Have faith in yourself. Have faith in the human first, then God if you want.

A being with no faith in the human self is a being with no spirit of life, regardless of how many Fathers or Holy Spirits or Sons it believes in.

Faith in God is optional, but faith in the self _ in the spirit within, is imperative. Have faith in yourself. Have faith in the human first, then God if you want.

A religious individual may most gloriously carry out his or her own rituals, as a part of his or her cultural identity, but the moment, that person starts to build a wall of separation between the self and the rest of humanity, coaxed by the textual commands of a scripture, the healthy religiousness turns into dangerous fundamentalism, which is a threat to both the self and the society.

Killing a bunch of Jihadis may be morally justified, to save humanity from their wrath, but it won't terminate Jihad for long. Jihad or Holy war would keep festering one way or another, until religious fundamentalism is eradicated from the human society. Until the whole humanity learns to scrutinize its most revered scriptures with the sharp tool of reasoning, Jihad will keep on striking over the world. If one does not have the basic conscientious capacity to refute the primitive textual verses of the scriptures that demand one to kill or torture another being for holding a different belief system than one's own, then that entity is no being of the civilized human society, it is merely a pest from the stone-age. No Quran, no Bible, no Gita, no Cow, is greater than the human self. There shall be hope for harmony and peace in the world, only when fundamentalism is destroyed forever. Harmony is not a luxury, it is an existential necessity of the species. And to achieve it, if a hundred Bibles have to be sacrificed, then be it. But for no Bible, Quran or Gita, can harmony be compromised.

Holiness in the purest form is independent of all textual doctrines, all churches and all institutions.

Who are we, to pass judgment on one another. When we have once done the same foolish acts.

The fight of faith can only be won by the holy word of God.

The truest family is the family of faith.

Whatever you feel is the force of faith.
