Hindus, Christians, and Muslims
When I say “Hindus are fools, Christians are fools, and Muslims—don’t even ask—are the biggest fools,” it is not about communities but about ignorance itself. Advaita Vedānta teaches that as long as we cling to rituals, dogmas, and imagined separations, we remain bound by Māyā. The fool is not the Hindu, Christian, or Muslim, but the mind that mistakes the finger pointing to the moon for the moon itself. Wisdom dawns only when we see beyond labels and realize the Self—one without a second. All else is shadow-play.
