Why should anyone be discouraged from quoting a verse from the Bible at all ? At least I feel no hesitation to quote from वज्रच्छेदिका प्रज्ञा पारमिता सूत्र (The Diamond Sutra) or from Book of Exodus when the prevailing context fits the verse or sayings from either of religious/philosophical traditions.

Anyone who do not learn or at least attempt to understand something, if not many things, from outside one's own tradition(s) or value(s) or norm(s) is a colossal and unfortunate missed opportunity for oneself.

Aside from awakening to the fact that there are realities outside one's own comforts, as an added bonus, anyone who attempts to and hopefully succeeds in understanding traditions aside from one's own is almost always at a tremendous advantage over those who don't. Or, at least this has been my experience so far.

Expand your understanding whenever you have an opportunity. It's a tremendous source of happiness. Happiness is never coated with color of any religion or faith group. At least, I find it pretty ridiculous and absurd for anyone to be unhappy at someone just because someone else does not strictly adhere to a particular line of tradition. It's rather fantastically irrational to make one's own tradition a source of disappointment and unhappiness.


By the way, why people do not trust ramas ?

Well,
