In a recent study, Francis X. Clooney, S.J., has shown the similarity between Christian and Hindu texts. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life. This little flute of a reed thou has carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new. At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine.
Ages pass, and still though pourest, and still there is room to fill.
There is also a sense in which we join others in the search for God. The Virgin Mary can also be seen in this context. The Holy Quran, the Final Testament which God revealed to Prophet Muhammad as the guidance for all mankind, speaks highly not only of Mary, but also of Jesus, her son. According to The Quran, Jesus is a prophet as are Noah, Abraham and Moses. As far as Mary is concerned, The Quran has hailed her as a model for the women of all the world.
