“Bapu Gandhi said, 'All religions are true.' I just want to love God” (Martel 76; ch.23) says Pi in response to the rebuke for his practice of multiple religions. The idea that religion should not be discussed in polite company is clearly demonstrated by the scene Martel describes in chapter 23 of "Life of Pi", in which experts in Hinduism, Islam and Christianity almost come to blows over the enthusiastic practice of Pi of the three. It is this youthful charm that equips him for the turbulent times he still faces, and it is the truth he discovers in the three religions, uninfluenced by adult notions of exclusivity, that benefits him. From a psychological point of view, Carl Jung explained in his analytical theory that all human beings share a “collective unconscious” through which we are provided with archetypal notions and concepts of the world, one of the most dominant beings, God or a Supreme Being (Rathus 404). It is through socialization that these archetypes are fostered. Having grown up in India, Pi had a rich panorama of religions to choose from and, instead of choosing one, he decided to choose all three religions predominantly practiced in his country. Having been born in India, a primarily Hindu nation, it seems logical that Pi's appreciation for religion would have been formulated in the Hindu temple. “I became loyal to these sensory impressions even before I knew what they meant or what they were for. It is my heart that commands me. I feel at home in a Hindu temple” (Martel 52; chapter 16). Hinduism laid the foundation for Pi's religious journey, with the principles of a 'Universal Reality', the transition of one's karma from one life to the next, and the Supreme Energy manifesting in various avatars and deities. It is this eclectic suggestion of God's manifestations that creates a sense of openness in Pi in his search for commonalities among other religions, suggesting in his conception that Lord Krishna himself led him to Christianity (55). Through Christianity, Pi became aware of the humility of God who in all His Holiness would allow His 'avatar' to die for us mere humans for the sake of love. Pi was now able to understand the concept of God's love for humanity. “I gave thanks to Christ that he was alive. Then I ran down the hill on the left and ran up the hill on the right – to thank Lord Krishna for putting Jesus of Nazereth, whose humanity I found so compelling, in my path...
