Ram Dass Quotes about Religion

  • Science and religion both teach that we are all interconnected, and thus interdependent. And at the very core, we are all One. But how do we live as if we know this?
  • I have always said that often the religion you were born with becomes more important to you as you see the universality of truth.
  • Every religion is the product of the conceptual mind attempting to describe the mystery.
  • I take the assumption that every religion has been rooted in some mystical or transcendent experience. From that assumption, I just look at all the different systems as metaphors or doorways to God.
