You may mislead
the patient about his temperature or deceive your customer about the weights of things
sold to him, but you cannot, cheat the thermometer or the scales themselves. Forms of worship do not matter. They may vary, but are all in
reality one. This is the great, all-important and unique attitude of Hinduism towards the
so-called religious differences.
In whatsoever way men approach Me, even so do I bless them,
for whatever the paths that men may take in worship, they come unto Me.
IV-11
When we consider how long ago this truth was' seen and laid
down for men's guidance in such emphatic terms. we are in a position to appreciate and
admire the spiritual greatness -of the fathers of Hinduism. |
