Abhijit Naskar
One Spirit, Many Vessels (Sonnet 1021) Christ was not a christian, Vyasa was not a hindu. Mohammed was not a muslim, Abraham was not a jew. Buddha was not a buddhist, Confucius was not confucian. Zoroaster was not zoroastrian, Naskar is not naskarean. Nanak was not a sikh, Mahavir was not a jain. All that we ever wanted is, To remind the humans to be human. Move past the person, and delve into spirit. There you shall discover, divisions do not exist.
Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

C.S. Lewis
[These are] the rewards of reading the Old Testament regularly. You keep on discovering more and more what a tissue of quotations from it the New Testament is; how constantly Our Lord repeated, reinforced, continued, refined, and sublimated, the Judaic ethics, how very seldom He introduced a novelty.
C.S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms
