(2)On Science vs. Religion:
"There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority, [and] science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win, because it works."

(3)On the Advice He Gave His Children:
"One, remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.

Comment:
"Science has cut across human barriers. There is no such thing as ‘your science’ or ‘my science’. But this is not in case with religions. The individual truths in different religions have not come together to interact with each other to form a greater truth that could result in improved spiritual life and thinking of mankind. Religions have not found a common theme to work together for the greater good of humanity by assimilating within them some scientific temper.
Then what would be a more evolved/ universal religion?" (‘Ganesha on the dashboard’ by V. Raghunathan & M.A. Eswaran )
