Through him a new type of religion was born. He is not the first link in a new chain, rather the last link.

He is not the beginning of a new journey. He was a rare man but for centuries the first twenty three Jaina tirthankaras had already said what he was saying. Gorakh cannot be dropped, because Gorakh became a new beginning for this country. He said: “Some questions have arisen, one is: you can drop Mahavira, but not Gorakh?” Now limbs would have to be broken, I cannot fracture limbs. I was continuing to decrease the number, because until now the one’s that had to be put aside were clothes. Until now I’ve been going along with you. To leave out any one would be like cutting off an arm. In fact there is only one, but that one has four arms. These four arms are like the four armed conception of god. These four dimensions are like the four dimensions of time and space. I can not drop any of these four.” Then I told him: “These four individualities are like the four directions. He started, saying: “Just one more time… please choose three persons.” Mahavira’s greatness can be encompassed in the greatness of Buddha. Just a tiny difference and that too only a difference in expression. Then I listed for him: Krishna, Patanjali, Buddha, Gorakh… because Mahavira is not very different from Buddha. Then he said: “One more time… if only four are to be kept?” He is the exposition of one part of Krishna, the philosophic interpretation of just one aspect of Krishna. I gave him this list: Krishna, Patanjali, Buddha, Mahavira, Gorakh. I said, “Then it will be even more difficult for me.” He said, “And if you had to make a list of five?” Now his curiosity had become tremendously aroused. “This is how” I said, “I made the list seven.”

The woman in Kabir has sung on the one string of Meera’s ektara. In Meera, Kabir’s feminine aspect is manifested - hence his entire sweetness, his entire fragrance, his entire music resound from the bells on Meera’s ankles. In Nanak the male aspect of Kabir has manifested, so it is not surprising that Sikhism became a warrior’s religion, a religion of the soldier. As if half of what came together in Kabir has manifested in Nanak and half has manifested in Meera. “Meera and Nanak can be dissolved into Kabir. “Ramakrishna can easily be included in Krishna. Before leaving his body, he had given this essential sutra… As if the treasure of his whole life, his whole life’s experience was concentrated into this small sutra. These were Buddha’s last words on this earth. Krishnamurti is just an elaboration of Buddha’s final sutra ‘appa dipo bhau’ - be a light unto yourself.’ A commentary on one sutra - deep, profound, tremendously vast, immensely significant! But he’s just a commentary on ‘Be a light unto yourself: appa dipo bhau’. Krishnamurti is Buddha’s newest edition - the freshest in today’s language. “Similarly Krishnamurti is included in Buddha. Lovely, but if cutting is needed, then the place of pilgrimage can be dropped, not the source of the Ganges. Nagarjuna is just a place of pilgrimage that appears along the course of the Ganges. When Buddha is born, hundreds of Nagarjunas will soon be born, but no Nagarjuna can give birth to Buddha. Nagarjuna can be dropped when it is a question of saving, trees can be dropped, but not seeds, because seeds will again become trees. That which was a seed in Buddha, manifested itself in Nagarjuna. I said: “Nagarjuna is contained in Buddha. He said: “The five you have deleted, on what basis did you drop them?” I gave him seven names: Krishna, Patanjali, Buddha, Mahavira, Shankara, Gorakh and Kabir.

He asked me further, “Next, could you give me seven names?” Now the question had become more difficult! This is why Hindus call Krishna a complete incarnation, but not Rama.” Rama has made no original contribution, Krishna has. So I have chosen those twelve people who have made some original contribution.

I said: “If I am allowed to choose only twelve many names will have to be cut. Rama’s name was missing! He opened his eyes and said to me: “You have excluded Rama!” Some names, which should naturally be included, were not there. I began to read the expressions appearing and disappearing on his face: it was difficult for him too. Even in old age a freshness remained on his face - just as it should remain - he had become more and more beautiful. Making a list is not easy, because the Indian sky is filled with so many stars! Who to cut, who to include?… Sumitranandan was a lovely man - extremely soft, extremely sweet - feminine. Sumitranandan Pant closed his eyes and slipped into thought…. The great Hindi poet, Sumitranandan Pant, once asked me: who in the vast sky of Indian religion are the twelve people, who in my opinion are the brightest shining stars? I gave him this list: Krishna, Patanjali, Buddha, Mahavira, Nagarjuna, Shankara, Gorakh, Kabir, Nanak, Meera, Ramakrishna and Krishnamurti.
