स्वमतं राष्ट्रं सकृच्च दत्त!
केन्द्र प्रभुता विश्व मतं त्वम् ।। (पल्लवी)
svamataṃ rāṣṭraṃ sakṛcca datta!
kendra prabhutā viśva mataṃ tvam ।।
O Datta! One can be a devotee of his/her own religion and simultaneously can be the devotee of Universal Spirituality religion, which stands for You. It is just like a citizen coming under a specific State government is simultaneously coming under Central government also as an Indian.
स्वमत ध्येय प्रेम श्लाघ्यम् ।
निन्दाऽन्यस्य स्वमतस्यैव ।।
svamata dhyeya prema ślāghyam ।
nindā'nyasya svamatasyaiva ।।
The devotee can love the form of God of his/her own religion, which is appreciable. But, scolding the form of God of other religion shall not be done because such scolding becomes the scolding of God of one’s own religion.
एकानूह्यः सर्व मतानाम् ।
नानोपाधिः भिन्न वेषी ।।
ekānūhyaḥ sarva matānām ।
nānopādhiḥ bhinna veṣī ।।
The reason for the above point is that the same only one unimaginable God is mediated by different media of different religions like the same actor acting in different roles. Hence, if you hurt one role and praise another role, it results in hurting the same actor in the role praised by you.
चत्वर गम्ये स्वगृहात् मार्गे ।
तिर्यक् गमनं नोन्मादः किम्?।।
catvara gamye svagṛhāt mārge ।
tiryak gamanaṃ nonmādaḥ kim?।।
When your goal is the central junction to which roads come from all the four directions, you can walk vertically on the road starting from your house. If you walk horizontally to reach other house situated in different direction and then walk to the goal from that road, is it not madness?
गुणोऽवतारात् दोषो भक्तात् ।
सम्मान्यमेव सर्व मतेषु ।।
guṇo'vatārāt doṣo bhaktāt ।
sammānyameva sarva mateṣu ।।
You should not misunderstand that one religion is totally bad and another religion is totally good. Every religion is one and the same that every religion contains both good and bad. The good is introduced by the human incarnation of God that established a religion and the bad is introduced later on by certain human devotees following that religion.
{Hence, there is no need of change of religion thinking that one religion is bad and the other religion is good (Svadharme nidhanaṃ śreyaḥ…- Gītā). One religion may be bad in one aspect and other religion may be bad in another aspect. The Universal Spirituality religion established by Datta Swami contains only merits of all religions. Hence, one may belong to any religion; he/she compulsorily shall register in the Universal Spirituality religion.}
