-
A. If we are still on the ego level and no transformation has been made, so there is a lack of development and we could therefore never reach the level where one can love the entire world. The family-love consciousness is of a lower state than that of the global-love state.
B. The person who talks adversely about religion indirectly tries to weaken our ego; it hurts our religious feelings. The strength of all religions lies in unaltered egos. The love of a terrorist is a good example of religion-induced love and the love of Buddha is a good example of spiritually generated love.
C. Spirituality eliminates the disparity between appearance and reality. Harmony, love and compassion are not the products of religion. They are spiritual products, spiritual property.
D. Religion strengthens the ego, because religion needs the individual to remain in the ego so that its strength and power can be maintained. We like those who enforce our ego and we dislike those who weaken it.

D must follow C as it mentions about ‘religion strengthens ….. we dislike those who weaken it’. B must follow D as it states that ‘ the person who talks adversely ….. spiritually generated love’. A should follow B and also close the passage as it mentions about ‘if we are still on the ego level ….. than that of the global – love state’. C D B A would be the right sequence
