Guest guest Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 it's like he is saying, it is our wish and desire that counts, not the words or forms we take, all those mental concerns are not the critical thing, it is our intent, our sustained intent. , "Jose Enrique Rosa" <master4114> wrote: > > > "God can be realized through all paths.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Sjri Ramakrishna asl gave immense freedom to each individual to choose whatever path he wants to choose.

Each has to pursue the path of God according to his inner nature and evolution. Correction to below: (the word nut got in there when I meant to say but) Yes, in my opinion it is like he is also saying that no particular religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all genuine religious paths are facets of God' love, deserving tolerance and understanding.
