Complementarity of religions (Hinduism)

Although different views of religion may appear contradictory they are all views of one reality and of one attainable vision of that reality. Just as different languages have different words to describe one and the same phenomenon, so different cultures have different ways of approaching God. Although the pathways up the mountain may be different, they all approach the same summit. Perhaps it is best that each individual follows the path prescribed by his or her own culture. Awareness of the goodness and truth of all religious traditions is the highest wisdom.

This was the view of Ramakrishna and his disciples and has become part of contemporary Hindu thought, and indeed is a widely held view of proponents of other religions and of no religion at all.
