"Ekam Sat Viprah Buhudah Vadanti". Truth is one, but the wise men call it in many ways. God is one but people give diverse names and forms to God. Similarly paths too are laid by many in many ways to reach the same Goal, God. Water is one but it is called differently in different languages. And it can be approached from all directions — north, south, east or west. Religions are many. Religious paths are also many. But God is one. Water is one. But it is called pani, or neer or thaneer or jalam in various languages. They all mean water. Similarly to the water in river or pond or lake, we can go from any side and direction. Blessed are they who know the truth and realise the truth. "This is the message of Sri Ramakrishna to the modern world: "Do not care for doctrines, do not care for dogmas or sects, or churches, or temples; they count for little compared with the essence of existence in each man, which is spirituality; and the powerful is he for good. Earn that first, acquire that, and criticise no one, for all doctrines and creeds have some good in them. Show by your lives that religion does not mean words, or names, or sects, but that it means spiritual realization ". Therefore my Master's message to mankind is, "Be spiritual and realize Truth for yourself "--- Swami Vivekananda
