4 Trimantra
Trimantra Makes You Impartial
These three mantras have been in existence from time immemorial but through quarrels people have divided them. The Jains kept the Navkar mantra and discarded the rest. The Vaishnavs kept whatever was theirs and got rid of the Navkar mantra. This is how the mantras came to be divided. In their prejudices that divides, people have left nothing untouched. That is why India is in such a state of shambles today! Ignorant people who wanted to prove their point created these divisions. The Gnani on the other hand, would reunite everything and make everyone unbiased. That is why we have written the three mantras together. So when all the mantras are recited together, you will be blessed.
Partiality Leads To Divisions & Prevents Salvation
Questioner: What circumstances led to the division of the Trimantra?
Dadashri: The propagation of and walling off of one’ s own bias and belief;‘ Ours is the correct way’. A person who claims that his way is correct is saying that others are incorrect. Would God concede to this? To God both are equal. This is why man is not able to achieve his own salvation, nor can he do so for others. On the contrary they walk further away from their salvation. People caught up in religious sects and divisions are hurting themselves as well as others.
Yet, it is not necessary to remove these divisions. They are needed because we need to have religions of all different levels or standards, starting from the kindergarten level all the way to the Ph. D. level. Along with these standards we also need their respective teachers. It does not mean they are incorrect or that there is no need for different standards. It is not appropriate to call the kindergarten level as being wrong if you are in the higher grades. All the standards are correct but not the same.
