To the Karmayogin there should be nothing common or unclean. There is nothing from which he has the right to shrink; there is none whom he can dare to loathe. For God is within us all; as the Self pure, calm and eternal, and as the Antaryamin or Watcher within, the Knower with all thought, action and existence for His field of observation, the Will behind every movement, every emotion, every deed, the Enjoyer whose presence makes the pain and pleasure of the world. Mind, Life and all our subjective consciousness and the elements of our personal existence and activity, depend on His presence for the motive-force of their existence. And He is not only within us, but within all that is. What we value within ourselves, we must not belittle in others; what we cherish within ourselves, we must not hurt in others; what we love in ourselves, we must not hate in others. For that which is within us, is the Divine Presence, and that which is in others, is the same Divine Presence. To remember this is worth all the moral teachings and ethical doctrines in the world. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/17/the-eternal-in-his-universe#p67</ref>
 
Religion is always a limitation for the spirit.
 
Instead of taking these religions in their outward forms which are precisely dogmas and intellectual conceptions, if we take them in their spirit, in the principle they represent, there is no difficulty in unifying them… that last "spiritual revolution" Sri Aurobindo speaks about, which will open a new age, that is, the supramental revolution.
 
"All would change if man could once consent to be spiritualized; but his nature, mental and vital and physical, is rebellious to the higher law. He loves his imperfection."

==Misconception of Religion==
 
Religious consciousness which is limited & enslaved by its creeds and to which its way of worship is a master and not a servant, because it leaves no room for a "Personal" God. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/25/religion-as-the-law-of-life#p6</ref>
 
Religious thought cannot be used unless it is liberated from the influence of religions.

If you want to find one teaching, one doctrine upon which to base your progress, you will never find anything. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/8-january-1951#p14</ref>
