THE UNITY OF RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE
The second factor is non-violence and its sister principle of non-interference whereby we allow others freedom to discover Truth. Through these principles all the various behavior of human beings can be brought into harmony.  True religious tolerance does not consist of reducing all religions to a single mold but of allowing the full range of human religions experience to flower without the control of any overriding dogma, hierarchy or institution in the external world.

This allows us to transcend religion and does not place us under the rule of any organization. Religion is only an aid in our own Self-realization and when it becomes an end-in-itself it loses its validity. We should make human beings subject neither to one religion not to all religions. Rather we should make religion subordinate to the Self of all creatures. We should not seek to make all religions good when religion itself is not the goal and when some religions can be harmful. We should see religions for what they are and discover the truth of what we are, in which all religions, indeed all worlds, are but our shadow.
