Prana, the vital breath, is born of Self. Like a person and his shadow, the Self and Prana are inseparable. Prana enters the body at birth, but does not die with the body.

- Upanishads "Prana Upanisad"
True religion is not talk, or doctrines, or theories, nor is it sectarianism. It is the relation between soul and God.
-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
Since, O Mazda, from the beginning, Thou didst create soul and body; mental power and knowledge and since Thou didst place life within the corporeal body and didst bestow to mankind the power to act, speak and guide, you wished that everyone should choose his or her own faith and path freely.
-Scriptures "Yasna 31, Verse 11"
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"
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"
