| So
this whole attack on Hindu society by stating that we will raise the
poor on religious grounds is based upon the motivation of
conversion. Then there is the whole issue of hospitals, orphanages
and schools. It is all very wonderful to selflessly help other
people. But why do you have to put a religious form there? As
long as the picture of Jesus is there, particularly when you have a
two thousand year history of aggressive conversion activities, how
can you expect people to believe that there is no seeking of
conversion? That it is purely selfless service and love of God?
If we love God, if we love our fellow human beings, we will love them regardless of what their religious belief is. We will love their religion as well. We will honor and respect their religion whether they are aboriginal people, Hindus, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, Moslems or Christians. We will not see any need to convert them. In fact, we should not even be conscious of their religion at all. True love of God does not seek converts. It is not based upon names, forms or identity. It is based upon recognizing the Divine presence in all.
