Not just one religious tradition, but many; not just one holy authoritive scripture, but dozens; not just one savior, but hundreds; not just one illumined soul, but thousands — this is Mother India’s Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Way to God. And concerning paths, there are millions….one for every soul that is wending its way out of bondage to mind and matter and back into its Eternal Home of Peace and Bliss. For, India’s perspective is Universal, its acceptance unconditional. Narrowness is not in its nature.

Tathagatagarbha/Atman — The Transparency of the Self #92
In all Indian Darshanas, which are clear pathways to spiritual sight, the presence of The Presence is both key and undeniable. That It exists is Truth; that It is to be attained or reached is the Goal. And how to bring it forward out of hiding is the Way. All this is expressed in unique ways in Vedanta, Yoga, Buddhism, Tantra, and other superlative avenues to Self-Realization. The ardent seeker only has to sincerely set foot on the spiritual path and proceed forward — which is inwards — preferably under the guidance of an illumined preceptor. For, after the body passes, the soul has nowhere else to move other than inwards, into the Great Mind, or Great Self. Those exceptional beings who have become intrepid spiritual wayfarers, even when they were embodied on earth, are the true Guides who shed Light upon the Way. From the small self, to selflessness, to
the true individual self, then to The Great Self, the inward-moving pilgrim finds Divine Reality — ironically enough — waiting and abiding in his or her own self.
From Atomic Particles to Atmic Particles #61
The final conclusion of the luminaries and the revealed scriptures is that “All Is Brahman.” But how can this ultimatum be believed when Brahman cannot be an object, an energy, or a thought? As Sri Ramakrishna explained, Brahman, Divine Reality, infuses everything like sweetness permeates sugar cane juice. The same sunlight appears in multiple dew drops that have collected on garden flowers in the early morning. The Light of Consciousness shines in all individuals, and all things — though apparently separated. Similarly, in keeping with the trends of modern science and contemporary human understanding, a way to understand the all-pervasive nature of Consciousness is through examining particles. Western Science has done so on the physical level, but the ancient contemplatives of India saw past the atomic particle and perceived Consciousness vibrating at subtler and subtler levels. This inner vision also revealed to them the presence of inner realms and the secrets of where the eternal Soul goes to and comes from before birth and after death. Whether put in terms of bodies, worlds, deities, or vibration, in-depth teachings on particles clarify our comprehension.
The Four Stages of Absorption & Formlessness #99
If there is only one true religion, that would have to be Nonduality, for only this highest Principle holds the capacity to both contain all other religions, and merge them into one another as well. And the secret of the rare Religion of Nonduality is Formlessness; that is the one distinct element that all the religions of the world do not profess, and if it is present there, it is not emphasized. There are many sweet drinks available for the palate, but only honey embodies the essence of sweetness. There are many great rivers on earth, but they all have the Ocean as their final destination. It was in this way that great souls like Buddha projected a body on earth and spoke to and of this most elevated spiritual station as Truth, giving It just enough form so as to attract the freedom-loving soul to engage with It. Like a mountain that loses all traces of pathways toward its summit, the Religion of Formlessness transcends name and form, time and space, and ushers the enlightened soul towards the peak of perfection called Brahman, Prajnaparam, Allah, the All-mighty Father, and other sublime appelations.
Wisdom Facets from the Garland of Universality #159
The current saying that states that “All religion is indigenous to the Soul” receives both well-deserved attention and further proof and validation in this revelatory dharma chart on the Eternal Principle of Universality. A dedicated and open-minded study of all the revered religious traditions of the world will turn up many gems of wisdom such as these, disproving the narrow-minded and one-sided assumption that only one religion is true, and the rest are false.
