All Religions Emanate from One Universal God
The meaning of ‘All Religions Emanate from One Universal God,’ does not imply that all religions should be brought into one. Rather, it accepts and embraces the fact that one Universal Truth expresses itself in diverse ways through various religions. Therefore, the explanation for the different religions that exist can be related to the cultural differences that exist around the world (for example, how people dress according to country, region, or ethnicity). Let us envision this idea as an egg that is presented a sunny-side up. The egg yolk in the center is the fundamental and universal Truth shared by each existing religion. On the other hand, the egg white or the peripheral part, changes in form according to culture, ethnic group, and time. When religions of the world recognize the common central part, the universal truth (the egg yolk), and appreciate the diversity of the various teachings and religions (peripheral part, the egg white) the conflicts among them will disappear. This concept is expressed straightforwardly in the teaching that ‘All Religions Emanate from One Universal God.’
