[Mr. Talin Rowe asked: Hello, and good afternoon from America. I am writing to inquire about distributing the sacred texts of Shri Datta Swami. I am wondering if devotees, are allowed to preach the divine knowledge as given by Shri Datta Swami or print, distribute and otherwise act as a representative in the mission to spread the divine knowledge of Lord Datta. It was my intention to try and inquire to various online publication websites and possibly journals in order to spread awareness of Universal Spirituality, however I have no agency nor legal representation in regards to the information hosted by Universal-Spirituality.org and composed Shri Datta Himself. If someone wants to found a formal or informal organization related to the study and worship of Shri Datta, what would the qualifications, or priesthood that would be best suited in order to be allowed to do this? Thank You, And Praise be to God, - Talin Rowe]
Swami replied:- You should become the higher saint than becoming the lower priest. A priest is like an agent in the spiritual business between God and devotee. A saint is the highest devotee, who propagates the spiritual knowledge for the welfare of devoted public. There are some devotees related to Me in USA. All of you can join as a ring and plan for propagation of spiritual knowledge in USA. I will tell Surya to contact you in providing their addresses. In the spiritual line, the highest step is practical service to God by propagating spiritual knowledge for the welfare of the world of devotees to God.
