AD VERSITY Because this is war, baby. And war is hell. The War of Art, p. 68 The artist’s life can be fun. It can be glamorous; it can be romantic. The days of an entrepreneur or innovator can be packed with excitement and action. But the inner game is about struggle. We are fighting ourselves and our own tendencies toward self-sabotage every hour, every day. That struggle never goes away and it never gets easier. This is the life we have chosen, you and I. It is, by definition, adversity.

There is only one true religion for all of mankind.

The difference between religions—what a strange expression.

Certainly there can be different faiths, and beliefs in historical events which are passed from one generation to another to strengthen religion; in the same way there can be different religious books—the Sutras, Vedas, Koran, etc.

But there can be only one religion, and it is real for all times.

—IMMANUEL KANT

We can believe in a thing, we can know that it exists, even if we cannot understand it with our intellect, or explain it with words.

If you are a Muslim, go and live as a Christian; if you are a Christian live as a Jew; if you are Catholic, live as an Orthodox—whatever religion you have, hold the same respect for people of different religions.

If your speech together does not arouse or excite you to indignation and if you can freely communicate with them, you have achieved peace.

It is said that the object of every religion is the same: all people look for love, and all the world is a place of love.

Then why should we speak about the difference between the Muslim church and the Christian church?

—ISLAMIC WISDOM

Do not fear hesitations but study the different faiths and religions intellectually.
