Is the experience of the Highest State the same to all? Or is there any difference?

Devotee: “Is the experience of the Highest State the same to all? Or is there  any difference?”

Ramana Maharishi: The Highest State is the same and the experience is also the same.

Devotee:  But I find some difference in the interpretations put on the Highest Truth.

Ramana Maharishi: The interpretations are made with the minDevotee The minds are different and so the interpretations are different.

Devotee: I mean to ask if the seers express themselves differently?

Ramana Maharishi: The expressions may differ according to the nature of the seekers. They are meant to guide the seekers.

Devotee:  One seer speaks in the terms of Christianity, another in those of Islam, a third of Buddhism, etc. Is that due to their upbringing?

Ramana Maharishi: Whatever may be their upbringing, their experience is the same. But the modes of expression differ according to circumstances.
