A christian Father: Those who do not have faith in Jesus Christ are destined to be consigned to the flames of liquid fire in Hell. This is the declaration of our faith
Shri Datta Swami: Does that mean that there is no salvation to all the devotees who lived on this earth prior to the incarnation of Jesus Christ? If so, all those devotees were subjected to the prejudice of God, as they were deprived of that revelation...

This means "The human incarnation is God for human beings. The path to please Him is only the sacrifice of work and the fruit of work in His divine mission. The soul is an iota of the creation. The creation is almost unreal (mithya) for God alone and not for the soul."

Mahima Yamuna (Yamuna River of Miracles) is a collection of miracles experienced by the devotees of Swami. Swami says "the miracles are named as black Yamuna because miracles are only for ignorant (ignorance is Tamas quality, which is black) people to generate and develop faith in God. Generation of faith is in atheists and development of faith is in devotees of low level aspiring for solutions of their personal problems. Scholars of high level devotion serve God without aspiration for any fruit in return. In spite of this fact, miracles are essential for the initial attraction of the attention of the devotees."

Sita's severe punishment was due to the exceptionality of Lakshmana. Sita abused Lakshmana for having an idea of illegal sex when Rama left to catch the golden deer. Sita was scolded by Rama after the war, which is a theoretical punishment for theoretical sin. Afterwards, Sita was given practical punishment of leaving her in the forest that resulted finally in her death also. This shows severe practical punishment for theoretical sin also. The reasons for this are 1) the deservingness of Lakshmana is in climax, he being the incarnation of Adisesha, the highest devotee and 2) if you observe the attitude of Lakshmana towards her, it is amazing since he never saw her above her feet by recognizing her anklets only. In view of the pain of mind of such exceptional devotee, even the theoretical sin is given practical punishment.
