“A true religion is that which has no caste, no creed, no colour. It is but an all-uniting and all-pervading embrace.”

Sri Chinmoy (1931–2007) Indian writer and guru

Context: No religion is absolutely perfect. Yet not only do we fight for religion, but also are we often willing to sacrifice our lives for it. And what we hopelessly fail to do is to live it. A true religion is that which has no caste, no creed, no colour. It is but an all-uniting and all-pervading embrace.
