| VEDANTA, UNITY AND UNIVERSALITY, THE UNITY OF TRUTH | |
| There is not
one set of physical laws for people of one religious belief or identity and another set
for those who thing differently. Fire is not wet and water dry for some people, while fire
is hot and water wet for others. The elements do not change their nature according to our
opinions or speculations. So too real religion cannot be different, though like science,
religion should remain a diverse phenomenon and an inquiry into Truth rather than the
imposition of a particular dogma. Based on recognizing the unity of physical laws governing the universe all scientists share the same knowledge and look for a truth that stands on reason and experiment and does not cater to personal, social, or cultural biases. In the same way, people of all religions must examine their beliefs and ideals and find out what is really valid within them. We must learn to treat the different religions of the world, whether they have many adherents or only a few, from the standpoint of the one religion of Truth. The different religions of the world are no different than various scientific laws and theories. They must be subject to the same scrutiny to see how and if they work.
