All religions, all faiths are but phases 
or facets of the same Universal Faith
and Discipline. 

It is like the story where 
seven blind men who examined the
elephant and described it to others. 

The man who held the tail in his hand
said it was a snake; the man who felt 
the leg said it was a pillar; the man
who examined only the ear swore 
that the elephant was like a winnowing
basket. 

This story has a deep inner meaning. 
The spirit is one, but, each one sees 
a fraction of it and judges it differently, 
while it is the integrated sum of each 
of these facets that constitute Reality.
