Essentially, there are as many religions as there are human beings. Each one of us is fashioning our inner life to attain the fullness of truth, love and peace. The spiritual ideal is the impelling force of our nature. It is our nature to realize the soul’s perfection and to live by it.
“What is religion? I for one would answer:
Not the religion which you will get after reading all the scriptures of the world; it is not really a grasp by the brain, but it is a heart-grasp. It is a thing which is not alien to us, but which has to be evolved out of us.
It is always within us, with some consciously so, with others quite unconsciously. But it is there; and whether we wake up this religious instinct in us through outside assistance or by inward growth, no matter how it is done, it has got to be done if we want to do anything in the right manner and anything that is going to persist.”
—Mahatma Gandhi
