| HINDU: | This is the sum of duty; do naught unto others which if done to thee would cause thee pain. |
| ZOROASTRIAN: | That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto another whatsoever is not good for itself. |
| TAOIST: | Regard your neighbour's gain as your own gain, and your neighbour's loss as your own loss. |
| BUDDHIST: | Hurt not others in ways that you would find hurtful. |
| CONFUCIAN: | Do not unto others what you would not have them do unto you. |
| JAIN: | In happiness and suffering, in joy and grief, we should regard all creatures as we regard our own self. |
| JEWISH: | Whatever thou hatest thyself, that do not to another. |
| CHRISTIAN: | All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. |
| ISLAMIC: | No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself. |
| SIKH: | As thou deemest thyself, so deem others. |
Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, worship, psychic control or philosophy — by one, or more, or all of these — and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, dogmas, rituals, books, temples, and forms, are but secondary details. -- Swami Vivikenanda
