God Quote by Sajal Garg — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“What troubles me most is when religion seeks to dictate social functioning through the authority of its scriptures. The obvious question then arises: Who authored those scriptures?”

“My own studies of the Vedas suggest the Vedic society was indeed far ahead of its time, contributing profoundly to cosmology, philosophy, medicine, and mathematics.”

“Kindness towards humankind, animals, and the natural world remains the purest expression of spirituality, one that requires no ritual, no intermediary, and no fear of divine punishment.”

“Sometimes I even wonder if I am the only one truly existing, if the world around me is merely an intricate illusion formed by light, reflection, and perception. It could be that there are infinite universes, each branching endlessly, each holding different versions of reality.”

“Coming from a Hindu family, I struggled immensely with the institutionalized aspects of the faith; staring at the idols often made me feel a sense of intense discomfort.”

“Libet’s EEG experiments suggest that we might not have free will. If the results of the experiment are to be believed, then what is the point? What is the fun if everything is determined? Wouldn’t Almighty get bored with us? We are more than our thoughts. And we are certainly way more than our actions. But how and why?”

“But if we are all God’s children, why does God spend so much time in history ordering one branch of his universal family to wipe out another branch? Why did his love for his Jewish children have to be expressed by the extermination of his Palestinian children? Why did he later abandon his Jewish children in favour of his Christian children and encourage his new favourites to torment their older siblings? Why did he order his Muslim children who worship him as One to persecute his pagan children who worship him as Many? Why is there so much violence in religious history, all done by groups who claim God is on their side?”

“The opportunity to do what is right is available at all times.”

“And the priests looked down into the pit of injustice and they turned their faces away and said, 'Our kingdom is not as the kingdom of this world. Our life on earth is but a pilgrimage. The soul lives on humility and patience,' at the same time screwing the poor from their last centime. They settled down among their treasures and ate and drank with princes and to the starving they said, 'Suffer. Suffer as he suffered on the cross for it is the will of God.'”
