Quote by George Bernard Shaw

The apparent multiplication of gods is bewildering at the first glance, but you soon discover that they are the same GOD. There is always one uttermost God who defies personification. This makes Hinduism the most tolerant religion in the world, because its one transcendent God includes all possible gods. In fact Hinduism is so elastic and so subtle that the most profound Methodist, and crudest idolater, are equally at home with it.

Summary

This quote highlights the unique perspective of Hinduism on the existence of multiple gods. While it may seem confusing, Hinduism recognizes that these gods symbolize different aspects or manifestations of the same ultimate transcendent God, who cannot be fully understood or personified. This inclusive and elastic understanding of divinity makes Hinduism remarkably tolerant, as it embraces all possible gods and accommodates diverse religious beliefs and practices. Hinduism welcomes both those who seek profound spiritual experiences and those who engage in more traditional and idolatrous worship, providing a religious home for a range of individuals.
