00:00People who claim to be the guardians of religion, telling you that your religion is in danger
00:05and therefore you need to stand up for your religion and protect your religion.
00:11What would you say to that?
00:12See, Dharma is never threatened.
00:14Only belief systems are threatened.
00:17And beliefs are very vulnerable, they would always be threatened.
00:21So whenever you cast a belief system as religion, this religion will be extremely insecure and
00:28vulnerable.
00:29You think that particular direction is sacred.
00:31My belief is that this direction is sacred, right?
00:34So you do not think this direction is sacred, right?
00:36So you face in this direction and start peeing.
00:38But to me, this direction is sacred and then I'll fight with you and I'll slaughter you.
00:42Beliefs will always clash with each other.
00:44And that's the fundamental problem.
00:45As long as religions continue to be based on belief, religions will keep fighting with
00:50each other and religions will remain one of the biggest problems that humanity faces.
00:54But religion at the same time can be the biggest blessing that humanity has if religions
00:59are founded on Bodh.
01:00Shruti says, Bodho aham, I am realization itself.
