മനുഷ്യരിൽ ‘നീ-ഞാൻ’, ‘എന്റെ-നിന്റെ’ എന്ന വ്യത്യാസബുദ്ധി നിലനിൽക്കുന്നിടത്ത് ആ ധർമ്മം ശുദ്ധമല്ല. രജോ-തമോഭാവങ്ങളിൽ നിർമ്മിതമായ അത്തരം മാർഗം ക്ഷയശീലവും അധർമ്മബഹുലവും; ഭാഗവതധർമ്മത്തിൽ ഭക്തർ കൃഷ്ണചേതനയായി ‘ഞങ്ങൾ കൃഷ്ണന്റെവരും കൃഷ്ണൻ ഞങ്ങളുടേയും’ എന്നു കരുതുന്നു.
Bhāgavata-dharma has no contradictions. Conceptions of “your religion” and “my religion” are completely absent from bhāgavata-dharma. Bhāgavata-dharma means following the orders given by the Supreme Lord, Bhagavān, as stated in Bhagavad-gītā: sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja. God is one, and God is for everyone. Therefore everyone must surrender to God. That is the pure conception of religion. Whatever God orders constitutes religion ( dharmaṁ tu sākṣād bhagavat-praṇītam ). In bhāgavata-dharma there is no question of “what you believe” and “what I believe.” Everyone must believe in the Supreme Lord and carry out His orders. Ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānuśīlanam: whatever Kṛṣṇa says — whatever God says — should be directly carried out. That is dharma, religion.

Because it is rooted in false ego and bodily identification, which produces division, envy, and irreligious behavior rather than spiritual unity centered on the Supreme Lord.
Reduce possessiveness and identity-based conflict by practicing humility, seeing others as souls, and aligning actions with dharma—especially through bhakti (service and remembrance of the Lord).
