About This Quote
The most important thing that all religions have in common is the idea that we are all one, that we are all part of God, and that we can reach out beyond our individual selves to touch the Divine. In the Bible, the Hebrew word for “one” is “echad.” In Greek, it’s “οὐσία.” In Islam, it’s “al-haqq.” In Buddhism, it’s “tathagatagarbha.” In every religion, the greatest human experience is a perception of oneness with everything around us and within us.
