conversations in Trinidad part 2

While traveling from the east coast of the island we came upon a familiar site, a Hindu temple on our left and a Christian church directly opposite it.

My driver had just explained to me that he followed multiple religions and considered himself Christian, Muslim and Hindu. Coming from a country where there are strict Christian beliefs (often times to an extremest or fanatical level) this concept was almost inconvievable to me.

There is no Hndu truth, Muslim truth, Christian truth Jewish truth etc. Truth is TRUTH where ever you are and and no matter who you are. SATHYAM is what the hindus call it. In the beginning was the word OM and that word was god the TRUTH. I am the TRUTH says the bible and the way and the light. Sister you are a real devotee with love in your heart I wish I could follow in your steps.
