The comment stated that the "essence of all religions are the same".
5:00 – Sanatana Dharma is a religion of inquiry encouraging logic & research unlike Christianity
7:27 – The world & religion is logical & rational | religion becomes about feelings | everything is logical on some level
17:35 – Acting illogical is unattractive to outsiders
20:20 – Religion is an escape from the world | making religion illogical to escape logical world | religion is a game
22:49 – Saints who escaped game of life without making up a new religion
25:16 – True religion is not happy | being always happy is an escape
27:10 – Gandhi said the essence of "all true religions" are the same & one | finding a true religion | misinterpreting Bhagavad Gita by Gandhi & Christian missionaries

56:37 – If externals don't matter neither do individual religions | mix & match religions as they are all one | no religions are special
1:05:24 – Sanatana Dharma is not based on feelings
1:06:32 – Promoting religious uniformity
