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
