“The religious wars between the Hindus and Moslems and Christians and non-Christians were all conducted on the basis of ignorance. One who is in knowledge knows that God is one; He cannot be Moslem, Hindu or Christian. It is our imagination that God is such and such and such and such. That is all imagination. The real wise man knows that God is transcendental. When we leave the body, God also goes with us, and when we take on another body, He goes with us there just to see what we are doing. The wise man, the jñānī, actually understands the science of God. One who only understands that “God is good” is in a preliminary stage, but one who actually understands how great and good God is, is further progressed. That knowledge is to be had in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Bhagavad-gītā. One who is actually interested in God should study the science of God, Bhagavad-gītā.”

He could barely comprehend that she had saved his life, that she had killed a former comrade in order to do so.”
