Jesus  Christ  was a  Jew , and Shakya Muni was  a Hindu . The  Jews  rejected  Jesus  Christ , nay  crucified him , and  the Hindus have accepted Shakya Muni     as God  and worship  him .

My religion is one  of  which Christianity is an offshoot and  Buddhism  a rebel  child.

Bring  in  the light; the darkness will vanish of itself . Let   the lion of Vedanta  roar . The  foxes will fly  to  their holes .

 In India religion was  never shackled . No  man was  ever  challenged  in  the selection  of  his Ishta  Devata , or his  sect  or  his preceptor , and  religion  grew, as it grew nowhere  else . For  liberty is the  only  condition of growth .

Vedanta  knows no sin . There  are mistakes , but no sin , and  in  the long run  everything is going  to  be  all right . no Satan-none of this nonsense . Vedanta believes in only one  sin , only  one in the  world , and it is this : the moment you  think you  are a  sinner  or  anybody is a  sinner , that is sin .

It is a  most  glorious  dispensation  of  the Lord that there  are so many religions  in the  world ; and world  to  God that these  would increase every  day , until every  man had  a religion unto himself .

Om represents the  whole phenomena  of  sound-producing . As  such  it  must  be  the  natural symbol , the matrix of all  the various  sounds . Om has  become  the one  symbol  for the  religious aspiration of the  vast  majority  of  human beings .

Ramakrishna`s  whole life was  spent in breaking down the  barriers  of  sectarianism and  dogma . He  advocated and  strove  to  establish absolute freedom  of  thought .

Vedanta  only  preaches  the principle , and  the method it leaves to you . Take any  path  you like ; follow  any prophet  you like ; but have only that method which  suits your own  nature , so that you  will  be  sure  to  progress .
