Divine Knowledge is the basis of all religions in the world and is the essential underlying message of all the scriptures. The One Omniscient and Omnipotent God gave the same Divine Knowledge in different lands and times. If only one religion and its scriptures are regarded as genuinely inspired by God, then one would have to accept that God is partial to have favored only one people and condemned all others to hell for no fault of theirs. Such claims of exclusiveness with regard to particular religions, its scriptures and its prophets are the cause of communal violence and the growing rift between religions and their followers. > > The root cause of such claims of exclusiveness in every religion is the misinterpretation of the scriptures. The prophets of each religion were God-inspired and revealed the Word of God to people according to the specific culture and needs of that people. The essential knowledge was the same but the external form was different. Followers of each religion, lacking the divine insight of their prophets, misinterpreted the words of the prophets and gave birth to mutual intolerance and strife between religions. > > The solution of this problem lies in the elucidation of the essential message of scriptures. This can be done by comparing scriptures of different religions, weighing against logic and experience and thereby resolving conflicts. It requires an in depth knowledge of all scriptures and a firm grasp of their essential meaning. Moreover it requires the same insight of Divine Knowledge that the prophets of each religion had. Alas this is not possible for an ordinary human being. The Will of the Lord alone can inspire this unattainable task. > > It is through the Lord's Divine Will alone that Sri Datta Swami has taken up this mission for the benefit of the entire human race. Swamiji is not biased towards any particular religion since He sees only Divine Knowledge, which is the source of all religions. He is a strong proponent of a rational and scientific approach to spirituality. > > Ex: 1) Gita keeps sacrifice of the fruit of the work on the top most level. Gita says `Jnanat dhyanam visishyate, Dhyanat Karma Phala Tyagah'i.e., Bhakti (devotion) is better than Jnana (knowledge) and sacrificing the fruit of your work (money) is better than Bakthi. > > Matthew–6 : 19 to 22 > " Do not Lay up for yourselves, treasures on earth.

This word says that every rich man is expected to practice the sacrifice within the limit of his wealth. Islam says that people are loving too much the money (Q'ran: AalFajr – 20). Islam says that by sacrifice of money your wealth will not decrease and in fact your wealth increases by sacrifice. Islam also mentions that by sacrifice of money your wealth becomes most pure. > > At the lotus feet of Shri Datta Swami > surya > http://www.universal-spirituality.org > > > skywhilds <skywords wrote: > so, you believe in jesus, too again, just because you believe > what those around you tell you to believe enough people say something > often enough and you believe it > " If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will > eventually come to believe it.
