Whenever we give importance to principles, we enter into bliss and we catch the right thread. Sometimes we give importance to personalities. There starts the problem. If we give importance to the message of Krishna, we are doing the right thing; we are spiritual. But if we give importance to Krishna himself, we become religious.
Two things: some are religious nuts and some are spiritual fruits! When you give importance to the Bible - the
message of Christ, you are a spiritual fruit. But if you give importance to Christ himself - the personality, then you are a religious nut. So that is where we miss. Giving importance to principle and philosophy is more important than giving importance to personality. Whether it is Krishna's message or Mohammed's message or Jesus's message, the message is one and the same. There is no contradiction or difficulty. But when we give importance to personalities, we are stuck. We create complications.
