The Mohammedans want to have the whole world Mohammedan; the Christians, Christian; and the Buddhists, Buddhist;
but Vedanta says, "Let each person in the world be separate, if you will; the one principle, the unity will be behind. The more prophets there are, the more books, the more seers, the more methods, so much the better for the world".
Just as in social life the greater the number of occupations in every society, the better for that society, the more chance is there for everyone of that society to make a living; so in the world of thought and of religion.
