From Signs To The Reality Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

All religious teachings
are symbolic expressions
of a truth that cannot be
adequately expressed.

Every religion whether
Christian, Buddhistic
or Islamic, is characterized
by time, space and
circumstances.

Organization, priesthood,
rituals and teachings
belong to the world
of signs that will go.

But in all these outer
forms of religions,
an eternal truth
is revealed.

Idolatry exists
in sticking to
these signs alone.

True religion
goes through
the signs to reality.
