Love, sacrifice, service and righteousness are the four limbs of religion. Religion brings out the divine and sublime feelings in man and makes him serve society. It evokes all that is great, blissful and good in men, and demonstrates the unity of mankind. It is unfortunate that religion, which has such high and sacred objectives, is construed and practised in a narrow way and propagated as a narrow creed. Religion is like an undercurrent that sustains the whole of humanity. The founders of religions, with a view to spreading the subtle secrets of religious faith, laid down certain rules of conduct and conveyed their message to the people. Thus, when the essence of all religions is one and the same, when all the scriptures proclaim the same truth, when the goal of all human effort is one, where is the basis for any differences? The paths are varied, but the destination is one and the same????
