Comparative Religion as a distinct subject of study has evoked much interest in recent times. In the three lectures that comprise this book, the author has tried to answer the following three questions: What exactly does Comparative Religion discuss and aim at? What is its method? What are its data? He believes that religions, in spite of their differences, have an underlying unity.
The more we grow in love and virtue and holiness, the more we see love and virtue and holiness outside. All condemnation of others really condemns ourselves. Adjust the microcosm (which is in your power to do) and the macrocosm will adjust itself for you. It is like the hydrostatic paradox, one drop of water can balance the universe.
-Swami Vivekananda
