Maheshwa Loka

So we must belong to one these sampradäyas. Sampradäya-vihinä ye manträs te niñphalä matäù: if you do not belong to a bona fide sampradäya, originating from a mahäjana, then your religious process is useless. You cannot concoct some religious system. So whether you follow the Christian mahäjanas or the Vedic mahäjanas, it doesn't matter. But you have to follow the mahäjanas. If a Christian says, "I don't believe in St. Thomas," what kind of Christian is he? It doesn't matter which mahäjana we are discussing. The real mahäjana is he who is strictly following the principles enunciated by God. Then he is following a real religious system. Otherwise, there is no question of religion. The so-called follower is simply a mano-dharmé, a mental speculator. Mental speculation is not religion. Religion is the order of God, and one who follows that order—he is religious.
