I get an email Reflection from the Thomas Merton Institute every week. Occasionally, I mash one of these up with a quote from our Vaisnava literature. The resonation is so striking that I consider Thomas Merton to be a great Vaisnava saint, who happened to take birth in a Christian culture. He lived the lifestyle of a Vaisnava and arrived at most of the same conclusions on spirituality, albeit through a different religion, that of Roman Catholic Christianity.

I realized I have done this mashup a lot over the last couple of years, so this weekend I created a new category, Thomas Merton, on my blog and went through my archives and recategorized all my posts with Merton quotes in them.

Hopefully this will be of benefit to someone interested in interfaith.
