Satyat nasti para dharma

Who can say what rings true to another? All each one can do is try to 
determine what rings true to him. That is all. 

Ultimately it is all true. There is only one Truth. Each separate 
reflection of that Truth is only that, one tiny piece. If that piece 
speaks to you, it does. If it does not, it does not. It may speak to 
another. Who among us is wise enough to determine whether that other 
should find that piece of Truth valuable to him or not? Is it not 
enough that we find some piece of Truth that helps us along the Way? 

How about tolerance? That is a good place to start, wherever we find 
ourselves.
