Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 OM NAMAH SHIVAYA Shri Steve: Yes, in my opinion it is like he is also saying that no particular religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, nut that all genuine religious paths are facets of God' love, deserving tolerance and understanding. And this to me is one of Shri Ramakrishna greatest gift to all mankind. , "Steve Connor" <sconnor@a...> wrote: > > > 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 Steve, Of course, religions are not the same. It is God who is the same and, of course, we are all the same as well at that place where we meet and commune with God.
