All religions worship to one God yet they have different ways to understand and pray. They teach transcendental concept that is not easy to understand. Therefore, it is required a knowledgeable spiritual teacher to understand the religion properly. Different understandings on transcendental concept are caused by different religious level that someone has. The Hindu sages have solved this problem by providing two areas of cognitive theology, namely Nirguna Brhman and Satguna Brahman and each is divided further into their subtheologies. The various Hindu theologies aim to bring human beings whose different religious level having same understanding on God. It can avoid misconception on Hindu teaching.
