All kids get introduced to Fractions , then decimals & percentages. And of course the are able to establish the corelation & understand that its just the form of communicating the value of the number. The single truth is the value and the form is the fraction or decimal & percentage way of representing it.
Spiritual knowledge is also a bit like that. Its conveyed in different ways.
Children by grade 6 or 7 figure out that its the value & the presentation.
Another example for that. Kids when listening to spritiual talks of their level or exchanging notes about their parents, especially relating to good values, often say my parents say that or they think that way too. Its because parents are trying to impart similar values.
Since there is only one truth & usually one right, however you may communicate it, it will be that!
Though many grown ups are still not able to co-relate the spiritual knowledge coming from different sources is conveying pretty much the same thing.
This is a sharing of my learnings from the Gita. This blog has bits of Gita knowledge that I find interesting with application / relevance to daily life. When I am in the uplifted mode I can see Gita principles in many things around me that its my endeavour to pen them down for common good. There are days when I see Gita in maths and in cartoons and so on. So to be able to capture these lovely thoughts and share them, the blog is a great place.

Plumber & Electrician & Handyman
{Recently watched the 3 part "Intro to Gita" by Rajima on You Tube & quoting with her permission}.
We call these guys when something is broken or we need something to be fixed.
Some people treat God in the same way. They think of God when they need some thing to be resolved or some help in a tough situation.
Many of us forget the " Stitch in time saves nine" principle. If we did regular maintenance & used things carefully in the house, we will have only natural wear & tear.
Similarly if we remember we are a part of God and have a loving & grateful attitude, we will probably not need to call for help.
