[A question by Ms. Thrylokya (on phone)]
Swami replied (on phone): Rule of the majority exists in the democratic parliament administration only. Whatever is approved by the majority shall be taken as the acceptable version. In Pravritti or Nivritti, the merit of the concept is important and not the acceptance of the majority. A person says that the majority of countries in the world are atheistic when that person gets some inconvenience from theism. Similarly, a person says that everybody is earning by corruption when he wants to earn by corruption. Whenever a soul mentions about the majority, it means that he is going to do a sin. Jesus told that the path to Hell is covered by roses, is very wide and a large majority will be walking on it. When a person decides to do a sin, he says that the majority of people are doing the sin. That majority goes to Hell and he will also go to Hell along with the big majority. Therefore, in spiritual line, the merit of the concept should be understood by deep analysis and then be followed. If one is prepared to go to Hell, he can do that sin and quoting about the majority is not necessary at all.
