A person studies science for 20 years. All concepts stay in his outer mind. Then he goes to a preacher for 1 year. He turns into a fanatic. Why?

All processes in nature create waste but nature takes care of the waste too. The thought process is man-made. The waste it creates is like plastic.Religions all over the world have turned human mind into a factory of creating pious thoughts. The waste it creates is immense and dirty. People try to burn it with the fire of hatred, riots, wars and so on... True religion is about discovering the zone of no thought.

Quote
Where there is faith, there is no fear. Where there is hope, there is fear. People often call their 'hope in God' as 'faith in God.' Faith shines deep inside you, hope flickers in the mind. Faith comes from the knowledge of self, hope is pumped into your head by Maya and her agents.
