![“If a man can realize his divine nature with the help of an image, would it be right to call that a sin? Nor, even when he has passed that stage, should he call it an error. [...] man is not traveling from error to truth, but from truth to truth, from lower to higher truth. To him all the religions…” quote by Swami Vivekananda](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f69/swami-vivekananda-53_divine-nature_if-a-man-can-realize-his-divine-nature-w_1666946.jpg)
