The end of all religions is the realizing of God in the soul. That is the one universal religion. If there is one universal truth in all religions, I place it here--in realizing God. Ideals and methods may differ, but God-realization is the central point. There may be a thousand radii but they all converge to the once center, and that is the realization of God.
