Quote #12 on Religious Struggle Quotes >> Religious Powers and Authority
“Do not go about worshiping deities and religious institutions as the source of the subtle truth. To do so is to place intermediaries between yourself and the divine, and to make of yourself a beggar who looks outside for a treasure that is hidden inside his own breast.”
Source: "Hua Hu Ching," by Lao Tzu, circa 600, BC. Part 17.
