Which is the true religion?
All religious traditions are human constructs mixing the positives and negatives of human nature and desire, some noble, others ignoble. They all mix truth with myth and fiction and because humans are fallible, so are the various religions. They are all useful in that they point humans towards Self realization of God. As written in Gadhada Madhyam 16 of Vachanamrut:
Question: “If a person has weak faith [shraddha/emunah] how can it become stronger?”
Answer: “If a person can realise the greatness [mahima] of One God [Bhagavan], then even if one has weak faith, it will grow stronger. For example, a person would never be attracted to clay utensils that are used for drinking water. However, if those utensils were made of gold, then one would naturally be attracted to them. Similarly, if one realises the greatness of the talks and songs [kirtans] related to God, then one's faith in One God and in those activities will naturally increase. Therefore, a person should use whichever method is necessary to understand the greatness of One God. If one uses such a method, then even if one has no faith at all, one will develop faith; and if one has weak faith, it will become stronger.”
Which is the true path?
The true path is the one granted to the individual seeker by One God. No two paths are the same because no two people are the same. Each system, religious or otherwise, describes Truth according to limited cultural understandings. The Transcendental Truth of One God must be experienced within one's consciousness. The world's religions are there to aid in this process not to be the final dstination. The destination is complete devotion [bhakti] to One God. This is known by various names such as devekut, samadhi, nirvana, heaven.
What is Omnism?
Simply stated, Omnism is the belief that all religions contain truth and that their adherents do well to learn from and respect all beliefs.Omnism is different from Universalism and syncretism because "If that which you seek, you find not within, you will never find it without." Religion is the way, not the destination. Omnism is not a religion. It is a description of faith.
