Guest guest Posted February 9, 2002 Report Share Posted February 9, 2002 Namaste, Quotes from the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna [sw. Nikhilananda's translation, 1942; 5th printing 1973] : p.673- " .. Besides, there are errors in all paths. Everyone thinks his watch is right; but as a matter of fact no watch is absolutely right. But that does not hamper one's work. If a man is restless for God he gains the company of Sadhus and as far as possible corrects his own watch with the Sadhu's help " ..... p.111-112 - " ...God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true. The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or by wooden stairs or by baamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a bamboo pole. " You may say that there are many errors and superstitions in another religion. I should reply: Suppose there are. Every religion has errors. It is enough to have yearning for God. It is enough to love Him and feel attracted to Him. Don't you know that God is the Inner Guide? He sees the longing of our heart and the yearning of our soul. ...............God is one, but His names are many!
