This, brethren, is a short sketch of the religious ideas of
the Hindus. The Hindu
may have failed to carry out all his plans, but if there is ever to be
a universal
religion, it must be one which will have no location in place or time;
which will
be infinite like the God it will preach, and whose sun will shine upon
the followers
of Krishna and of Christ, on saints and sinners alike; which will not
be Brahminic or
Buddhistic, Christian or Mohammedan, but the sum total of all these,
and still have
infinite space for development; which in its catholicity will embrace
in its infinite
arms, and find a place for, every human being, from the lowest
grovelling savage not
far removed from the brute, to the highest man towering by the virtues
of his head and
heart almost above humanity, making society stand in awe of him and
doubt his human
nature
It will be a religion which will have no place for persecution or intolerance in its polity, which will recognise divinity in every man and woman, and whose whole scope, whose whole force, will be created in aiding humanity to realise its own true, divine nature...quoted from VIVEKANANDA
