Shri Hrushikesh asked: 1) Dear Swami, Mr.Jflabg from after reading the discourse on the Karma and Karma Yoga on the face group "Satguru" has asked the following question. {Jflagb: Why Christianity and Islam never agree on Vedas whereas Sanatana Dharma agrees with all scriptures from every religion?}
Swami replied:- Even in Hinduism, there are mad conservatives and such conservatives exist in every religion. The percentage of conservatives may vary from one religion to the other. Christians in USA have appreciated Swami Vivekananda and several Muslims appreciated Shirdi Sai Baba. Every religion must understand that the basic spiritual knowledge is one and the same. Certain religious customs and cultural practices may differ from one religion existing in one country to the other religion existing in another country. These differences are external only and the internal essence is the spiritual knowledge, which is the same in every religion. If a person belonging to one religion scolds another religion, such person shall understand that he is indirectly scolding the heart of his own religion. When there is only one earth with one humanity, how can there be several Gods? Each religion says that its God alone created this earth with humanity. Unfortunately, there are no several earths having different humanities. There is only one earth with one humanity. Hence, the logical conclusion is that there is only one God in different forms and names due to different religions. The same actor may appear in different roles, but, the basic actor is one and the same. Similarly, same God exists in different roles with different forms and cultures in all religions. Similarly, same subject of spiritual knowledge exists in different languages as different scriptures. The spiritual knowledge is one and the same. If you crossover language, name and form, you can certainly find the divine unity in all religions. This is very important step to bring peace in this world and all of us shall try for it sincerely.
