I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world. I believe that they are all God- given and I believe that they were necessary for the people to whom these religions were revealed. And I believe that if only we could all of us read the scriptures of the different faiths from the standpoints of the followers of these faiths, we should find that they were at bottom all one and were all helpful to one another.

Hitler killed five million Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions.

Tulsidas's Ramayana is a notable book because it is informed with the spirit of purity, pity and piety.

It is poor faith that needs fair weather for standing firm. That alone is true faith that stands the foulest weather.

Freedom of worship, even of public speech, would become a farce if interference became the order of the day.

A friendly study of the world's religions is a sacred duty.

My religion teaches me to love all equally.
