In this symposium the true nature of religion is brought out by many scholars and savants who are practitioners of religion. We see that the essential message of all religions is the same.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
