"Indian religions are not exclusive minded. They are ready to allow that there may be alternative approaches to the mystery. Thus catholic minded Indian religious spirit is the way of salvation for all religions in an age in which we have to learn to live as a single family if we are not to destroy ourselves." — Arnold Toynbee
