Disciple: “The follower of every religion thinks that his faith, his scripture or his interpretation of it reveals the highest truth, and that they are therefore superior to other faiths, scriptures or interpretations. This notion has contributed much the misfortunes of mankind in this world… Lastly, as regards truth itself, everyone, even a fool, thinks that what he knows is the truth.”  
Guru: “What you say may be true with regard to mere religion, mysticism, theology or scholasticism mistaken for philosophy. It may be so with the early or intermediate stages of philosophy itself. But Vedānta, particularly its philosophy, sets before itself the object of finding a truth ‘free from all dispute’ and ‘not opposed to any school of thought or religion or interpretation of scriptures.’ Its truth is independent of sect, creed, colour, race, sex, and belief. And it aims at what is ‘equally good for all beings’.” — Introduction to Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad
