रामकृष्ण परमहंस जीवन "अंतिम सत्य एक मार्ग अनेक "
Bharat has got ancient philosophy that is darshan which says
एकं सत् विप्रा: बहुधा: वदन्ति|
which means that truth is only one but people understand/call it by many names.
Bharat believes that you can attain the eternal truth by any path and all the paths are true. The same thing was told by by Swami Vivekananda in his famous speech on 11th September 1893.
He referred to a shloka from Shivmahimna stotra
रुचीनां वैचित्र्यादृजुकुटिल नानापथजुषां|
नृणामेको गम्यस्त्वमसि पयसामर्णव इव।
which means
‘As the different streams having their sources in different places all mingle their water in the sea, so, O Lord, the different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee.’
( Link of the text of his speech
This belief is not theoretical only but practiced by Bharatians for ages. Only one example
There are many ancient Bhartiya ways for spiritual progress which are called Marga. Guru of Swami Vivekananda, Ramkrishna Paramhans, in his earlier life practiced all the Margas( except Vamamarga/Vamachar ) and got the same truth. He also practiced Muslim and Christian faith for sometime and got the same result.
The basic reason for religious intolerance is the belief , that only my path is true and not others' paths. People with such belief classify the world in two categories, one category of their faith and other category of other faiths. With the belief , that only their path is true they try to get others into their path by various means, including force. This leads to intolerance.
The correction on basic philosophical/ belief level is needed.
