All beings from Brahma down to a clump of grass will attain to liberation-in-life in course of time, and our duty lies in helping all to reach that state. This help is called religion; the rest is irreligion. This help is work; the rest is evil-doing – I see nothing else.
(p.311, V.6, Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Swamiji’s letter to Swami Ramakrishnananda)
