From the unreal, lead me to the Real From darkness, lead me to Light From death, lead me to Eternal Life — Brihad Upanishad 1.3.28 |
Real = Godly darkness = worldly Light = Godly (John 8.12) death = worldly Eternal Life = Godly (John 6.47) |
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying I am the Light of the world: He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.
— John 8.12 |
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath Everlasting Life.
— John 6.47 |
God has created different religions to suit different aspirants, lives, and countries — all doctrines are only so many paths; but a path is by no means God, Himself. Indeed, one can reach God if one follows any of the paths with wholehearted devotion.
— Sri Ramakrisha |

This is beautiful. And it expresses exactly my beliefs on spirituality around the world. I always wondered why more people couldn’t understand or recognize any other paths besides the one single heavily-trodden path as simply a different way to reach Him. The world isn’t simply black or white, after all.
Thank you for sharing this.
