The Vedas are the only scriptures which teach this real absolute God, of which all other ideas of God are but minimised and limited visions;
as the सर्वलोकहितैषिणी Shruti takes the devotee gently by the hand, and leads him from one stage to another, through all the stages that are necessary for him to travel to reach the Absolute;
and as all other religions represent one or other of these stages in an unprogressive and crystallised form, all the other religions of the world are included in the nameless, limitless, eternal Vedic religion.
