Note that I said "equally true", not "equally wrong" Relative to this, Adi Da says: -- all great religious Teaching originally comes through God-inspired beings (male and female) -- the Teaching given is for a given group of people AT a given time, and therefore is somewhat responsive to the culture, traditions of that group, of that time. -- the Realization of the Teacher does not necessarily correspond to the Teaching given. In other words, a profoundly Realized Teacher may scale-down what is given so that it can be understood by a given group -- what is ADDED to the Teaching after the original Teacher is perhaps analagous to barnacles on a boat (my metaphor, not Adi Da's). In other words, the Teaching can be profoundly CORRUPTED over time So yes, AT THEIR SOURCE, and IN THEIR TIME, all great Teachings are God-inspired. But what is presented after a few thousand years is something else again. Namaste! Jim
