A paragraph from "The Man Who Knew Infinity" by Robert Kanigel, pg 35:
The genius of "The Eternal Law", then, was that it left room for everyone. It was a profoundly tolerant religion. It denied no other faiths. It set out no single path. It prescribed no one canon of worship and belief. It embraced everything and everyone. Whatever your personality there was a god or goddess, an incarnation, a figure, a deity, with which to identify, from which to draw comfort, to rouse you to higher or deeper spirituality. There were gods for every purpose, to suit any frame of mind, any mood, any psyche, any stage or station of life. In taking on different forms, God became formless; in different names, nameless.
The statement in bold made me so emotional. I was overwhelmed with feeling I can't describe in words.
