"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 Buddhist, Christian or Muslim, 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 groveling savage not far removed from the brute, to the highest individual towering by the virtues of his head and heart almost above humanity, making society stand in awe and doubt his human nature. It will be a religion which will have no place for persecution or intolerance in its polity, which will recognize divinity in every man and woman, and whose whole scope, whose whole force will be created in aiding humanity to realize its own true, divine nature. Offer such a religion, and all the nations will follow you"

"Suppose we all go to fetch water from a lake. One has a cup, another a jar, another a bucket, and so forth, and we all fill our vessels. The water naturally takes the form of the vessel carried by each of us. He who brought the cup has the water in the form of a cup; he who brought the jar has his water in the shape of a jar, and so forth; but, in every case, water, and nothing but water is in the vessel. So of religion; our minds are like these vessels, and each of us is trying to arrive at the realization of God.
God is like that water filling these different vessels, and in each vessel the vision of God comes in the form of the vessel.
Yet He is One. He is God in every case."
