Don't believe something just because somebody tells you it's true, or you read it in scriptures. Don't even believe what your teachers tell you unless your own reason and experience confirms what they say.
THE BUDDHA
Don't depend on or believe any particular creed exclusively, so that you reject all other creeds. If you do so you will lose the benefit of a wider knowledge and will not be able to see the real truth. Recognize the real truth of the matter. God, the omnipresent and omnipotent, is not limited by any one creed.
IBN AL-ARIBI, SUFI
Different religions teach different paths to the one Source.
But teachings are not God, and all paths have their own failings.
SRI RAMAKRISHNA, VEDANTA (HINDU)
Truth is truth no matter what religion teaches it.
All paths lead to the same Source, and the differences are only semantic.
MEHER BABA, SUFI
The only temple that matters can be found within yourself.
TENZIN GYATSO, HIS HOLINESS, THE FOURTEENTH DALAI LAMA
I consider myself a Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist and Confucian.
MAHATMA GANDHI
If you wish to understand the teachings in this book, you must be humble and open.
Love and faith will let you rise above reason.
