Truth does not have versions

Vedic Philosophy suggests "ekam sat viprah buddha" meaning that there is only one truth, but wise men communicate it differently".  I feel that this would explain to us the reasons for different faiths across our globe.  If I were to suggest that wisdom never contradicts itself and relate it to the vedic concept above, the piety inherent in all the different faiths becomes obvious.  We may be able to overlook the external aspects between them and finally see that all at their core is as holy as holy can be.


Limiting our thoughts based on our intellect and intellectual/popular interpretations may not allow us to accept all of humanity with out heart.  This idea is expressed beautifully by the Sikhs through the lines "Ek Onkar Sat Naam" - There is one God and that is Truth.
