For example, who can
maintain that the life and teachings of Christ can be truly and
fully followed by the Christians that revere and worship Him as God?
The same is the case of the Koranic or the Buddhistic teachings. Yet
it is true that every one of these religions has not only stirred
great men's hearts and given strength to their souls, but is the
daily bread of life to millions of common mortals; who otherwise
would have been like beasts of the field.
The Bible, the Koran and the Gita are
like lamps that light our paths in darkness. We cast our own shadows
on our path in spite of the lantern in our hands; so, every
besetting temptation, doubt, fear or difficulty throws its dark
shadow, in spite of the light we carry; and the way is a checkered
pattern of light and shadow. Still, holding the light firmly in our
hands we may walk fairly safely. If we let the light go out, we
should be lost in the jungle. |
