True religion is not talk, or doctrines, or theories, nor is it sectarianism. It is the relation between soul and God.

Soul
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
One who identifies himself with his soul regards bodily transmigration of his soul at death fearlessly, like changing one cloth for another.
-Scriptures "Pujyapada, Samadhishataka 77"
A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but it is the abode of the soul which potentially has perfect perception, perfect knowledge, perfect power, and perfect bliss…Have compassion towards all living beings. Hatred leads to destruction. Respect for all living beings is non-violence…
-Vardhaman Mahavira "Mahavira"
When an exalted soul realises that all sentient beings are one in relation to the Supreme – that is, that all beings are the minute parts of the One – how shall he have any more delusion and what grief will come to him?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad"
For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 2.20"
