A religious life implies a life in which there is complete harmony in our daily actions, in our daily lives
After all, to be open to the source of all happiness is the highest religion; but to realize this happiness, you must give right attention to it, as you do to business.
He who follows another, whether it be the greatest saint or the teacher around the corner, is essentially irreligious
Is religion a matter of following a pattern laid down by another, however great? To follow is merely to conform, to imitate, in the hope of receiving a comforting reward; and surely that is not religion
Religion is not a matter of churches, temples, rituals, and beliefs; it is the moment-by-moment discovery of that movement, which may have any name, or no name
Religion is not a matter of dogma, orthodoxy and ritual; it is not organised belief
Religion is not a matter of dogmas and beliefs - of rituals and superstitions; nor is it the cultivation of personal salvation, which is a self-centered activity
Religion is the feeling of sacredness, of compassion, of love
Religion is the total way of life; it is the understanding of truth, which is not a projection of the mind
The releasing of the mind from envy, greed and violence, from the desire for success and power, so that his mind is freed from self-contradictions, conflicts, frustrations - is not this the way of religion?
