SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

Intro to his book, "Raja Yoga" -- (I didn't put it in all caps, just too lazy to change it).

EACH SOUL IS POTENTIALLY DIVINE.
THE GOAL IS TO MANIFEST THIS DIVINE
WITHIN, BY CONTROLLING NATURE, EXTERNAL
AND INTERNAL.
DO THIS EITHER BY WORK, OR WORSHIP, OR
PSYCHIC CONTROL, OR PHILOSOPHY, BY ONE,
OR MORE, OR ALL OF THESE—AND BE FREE.
THIS IS THE WHOLE OF RELIGION.
DOCTRINES, OR DOGMAS, OR RITUALS, OR
BOOKS, OR TEMPLES, OR FORMS, ARE BUT
SECONDARY DETAILS.
