The motto of the Ramakrishna Order is
आत्मनो
मोक्षार्थं
जगद्धिताय
च, "For one's own salvation and for the welfare of the world".
"Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divinity within, by controlling nature, external and internal. Do this either by work, or worship, or psychic control, or philosophy – by one, or more, or all of these – and be free. This is the whole of religion. Doctrines, or dogmas, or rituals, or books, or temples, or forms, are but secondary details."
– Swami Vivekananda
