All religions hold out the gift or Grace as the prize for success in this cleansing process. Ideas of superiority and inferiority arise only in a heart corrupted by egoism. If some one argues that he is higher or that his religion is holier, it proves that he has missed the very core of his faith. Sadhana will reveal likewise, the unity in the fundamental teachings of all religions. It is of course a hard path, but it is a path that every one has to take now or later.
