All
Vedas have one common goal though there are differences among
their adherents. What is the goal? It is the well-being of the
entire world and all creatures living in it, and the uplift of
the Self of each one of us and its everlasting union with the
Ultimate Reality.
We
may take pride in the Vedas for another reason also. They do not
point to a single way and proclaim, "This alone is the
path" nor do they affirm, "This is the only God"
with reference to their own view of the Supreme Being. Instead,
they declare that, if one adheres to any path with faith or
worships any deity with devotion, one will be led towards the
Truth. The scripture of no other religion speaks thus of the many
paths to liberation. On the contrary, each of them insists that
the way shown by it alone will lead to liberation. The Vedas
alone give expresion to the high-minded view that different
people may take different paths to discover the one and only
Truth.
