Q: Guruji, how
should we answer those who say, ‘What is the problem if people convert
when they get better education and healthcare?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Mahatma
Gandhi has said that it is a crime to convert people by giving them
education and some money. This is a big crime and we should never do
that.
Every individual has got the right to make his own decision, and you
cannot lure someone to change their religion.
Why do you want to convert others and change their religion? It is
because you want your numbers to increase. And why do you want your
number to increase? This is because you want to have political power.
You are converting people for politics, and to gain power; this is a
nasty thing to do. God will not pardon you. By converting, you are
destroying a culture, you are destroying the demography of society. This
should not happen, and we must put an end to this.
Saying, ‘My God is better than your God’, is actually another form of
terrorism. In fact, it is the seed of terrorism. So, people who are
trying to convert others, I would say that they are also doing the same
job as a terrorist, but in disguise.
