“I am the only way!”
Rishimukh|January 2020
Whenever this has been said (I am the only way), it has been said from the higher consciousness, not to make one a fanatic. It has been said to make one realize the Truth, and the Truth is only ONE
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
“I am the only way!”

In the Bible, Christ says, “I am the only way!” The Koran says that it is the only way, and the Gita also says ‘Mam ekam sharanam vraja’? Is this the reason for all religious conflicts? This knowledge was given to people at that time, to help focus their minds on the present. Now, if you are listening to me, I will tell you, “This is the Truth, just be HERE, NOW!” This is because the mind has a tendency to glorify the past, or wait for the future, and discard the present! Lord Krishna said, “Mam ekam sharanam vraj”, meaning, ‘Come to me alone’.

He said this to his dearest disciple Arjuna, in order to bring his mind totally into the present moment.

Whenever this has been said (I am the only way), it has been said from the higher consciousness, not to make one a fanatic.

It has been said to make one realize the Truth, and the Truth is only ONE, and so they said, “It is the only way! “To emphasize that One Truth. Otherwise, the mind discards the present.

The same thing happened with Jesus. People at that time were only thinking about somebody in the future, or the past. That is why he said, “Right now, right here, I am the only way.” He said this from that ‘I am’ consciousness.

The Bible was also written 70 years after Jesus Christ left His body. Just imagine how many times His words would have been interpreted; or how the same few words could have been translated in those times! This is a big question mark!
