OURSELVES

There have been seers in the past, there are seers at present and there will be seers in times to come ; but paths are not different.
In the history of man, Religion has perhaps occasioned more strifes and bloodshed than Politics. People have killed each other only to proclaim that their religion is the only custodian of Truth and whatever the others say is false ; that their Prophet is the only true prophet and others are imposters.
There are some who do not want bloodshed and strife in the name of Religion. They may be called samanvayavādins. They say : No religion is false and there may be as many paths as there are Prophets; all roads lead to the same goal.
