How this connects to Jesus
In whatever way people approach him, Krishna says, so he receives them; all men everywhere tread his path. It is a generous, inclusive vision of the ways to God. Jesus made a narrower and more startling claim: I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). Here two traditions differ honestly and importantly. We lay both before you, and invite you to read the Gospel and weigh it for yourself.
