Divine Message of His Holiness shri Datta swami

The spiritual knowledge given to you by God through Me is like food that should be offered to a hungry man. If he is not hungry, he will reject it. But certain portions will create hunger like the pickle of ginger, which is an item of food as well as the medicine. For an atheist also, there is food, which acts like medicine as we see “Unizyme” capsules.

Some people have another type of illness. They can digest only certain items of food like the Hinduism or Christianity etc. When they see the scriptures of other religions, they become allergic to certain food items. For such people there is “DIGEPLEX” tonic in this spiritual knowledge. You have to pick up the right medicine. Certain items of food act as medicines. Thus this is food and medicine. I like every human being in this world to be prepared to eat all types of food items with good hunger.

This means that every human being should have immense love for God and should love the scriptures of all religions. Then you like the same God in different human bodies, which are just different dresses only.

Sacrifice is the only path to get the grace of the Lord. But, what sacrifice gets the grace of Lord? Sacrifice of everything is stated in the Gita (Sarvakarma phalatyagam…). Everything means anything that is required to the context and this does not mean blind sacrifice of everything. Planning decides the requirement. Sacrifice of that particular required item to the context of implementation of planning is true sacrifice. If you just keep the Lord as your son, you will understand everything, because the love on the child is strongest among all the worldly bonds. For the sake of your child, you will sacrifice anything, without aspiring any fruit in return. God created this bond in this world to preach you practically regarding the bond you should have with the Lord. It is a simile created by God for preaching you practically. There are some devotees in Christianity and Hinduism, who sacrificed their sons for the sake of Lord, when tested. This means that the bond with the

Lord should be greater than the bond with your child. Atleast, give equal importance, if not more.

When Hanuman was going to search Sita, Rama did not give any guidance. Hanuman faced several problems on the way but all were solved by the intelligence of Hanuman, which was associated by the grace of the Lord. At this point, sacrifice of intelligence is needed. Hanuman did not simply pray “Oh Lord! This is your work. Please solve this problem.” The intelligence also should have the fortune of participation in the divine service. Do you advise your son “Whenever you get some problem, pray God, it will be solved..”? When your son comes with a problem, you are applying your intelligence to solve it. Do you start praying as soon as you hear his problem? The Lord wants to see the extent of your sacrifice in the mission. When you have sacrificed all your efforts by all means, the Lord is pleased and gives guidance at that point, since the success in the work is not important for Him.. He can finish the work in a fraction of second. The finishing of work is not important for

Him, which takes no time. He gives all the importance to the sacrifice of your efforts by all means, which is a proof of your real love towards Him. God can excuse all the sins without Jesus. What is the use of that cruel crucification? It shows the sacrifice of Jesus for God, which will be an example for other devotees in the spiritual path. You should not expect any help from God even in the last moment. Jesus sacrificed everything irrespective of any help from God even in the last moment of crucification.
