What is Religion?

Swami Vivekananda

• Religion is the manifestation of the Divinity already in man.

• Religion is the realising of God.

• The end and aim of all religion is to realise God. The greatest of all training is to worship God alone.

• Man must realise God, feel God, see God, talk of God. That is religion.

• Religion deals with the truths of the metaphysical world, just as chemistry and other natural sciences deals with the truth of the physical world.
