Religion is not really knowledge, but faith and aspiration; It is indeed justified both by infallible intuitive knowledge of the greater spiritual truths and by the subjective experience of souls raised above ordinary life, but in itself it gives us only hope and confidence by which we may be induced to aspire to intimate possession of the hidden paths of the soul and the greater realities. That we always turn some specific truths and symbols or a particular discipline of a religion into hard and fast dogmas is a sign that in spiritual knowledge we are still mere infants and still very far from the science of the Infinite. – Sri Aurobindo
