Truth is one, the paths are many.
The Inner Truth
What then is the inner Truth that lies at the core of all religions?
Schuon says that the common exoteric or outer ideational manifestation
of religion is the notion of "I and Thou", or that there is a separation
(duality) between man and God and that they are fundamentally two
different entities. In contrast, the esoteric core of all religions is
the knowledge that "I am Thou and Thou art I" i.e., that man and God
are at their inner-most essence the same Being.
