"All the great teachers throughout history are representatives of the same ONE truth from the same ONE Lord God in Heaven"
A related comment from Adi Da from THE GOSPEL OF KRISHNA AND JESUS"
Just so, we should not be righteously angered or even dismayed to discover that the same Truth, Doctrine, and Offering has been Communicated by two entirely different Teachers, or Spiritual Masters, in many times and places in this world--and happily, such Masters will always be a feature of human history. When such a Master speaks, it is not merely the man that speaks and says: I am God. It is the Realization of the man that speaks. And that Realization has not only been the Great Discovery and Destiny of a few. It has, since ancient times, been declared to be the Truth and Condition to be Realized equally by all--if they will enter into the Ecstasy of the Way of Divine Communion.
There is no true basis for Christian sectarianism or Hindu sectarianism. Indeed, all the "great religions" of the world are centered in the same Revelation. It is time we all awakened from our provincial religous presumptions and accepted all human cultures as our heritage. It is time we ceased to struggle to dominate one another with our secarian "Revelations" and actually began to practice the right, appropriate, responsible, and Life-positive discipline of action in the Ecstatic Way, Truth, and Life (or Spirit) of God-Communion, which is the only means of the Salvation, Liberation, or Happiness of Man.
Is this relatively close to your point of view, Frederick?
Namaste!
