RE:RE:LEARN HINDUISM
by Anand Iyer on May 16, 2007 04:45 PM

Another point, the verse is addressed at "People of the Book". "The Book" get it????. We Hindus have many books. So we r not "People of the Book". Further, Lord Krishna has clearly said at verse no.63 of Chapter 18 of Bhagvad Geeta: "Ponder deeply over what I have revealed unto u and then do as u please". Therefore, according to him, even divine revealations should not be blindly accepted and acted upon. One should critically analyse these scriptures and accept them only if they r logical. Further, he has said at verse no.46 of Chapter No.2: "One who has obtained enlightenment has the same use for all the Vedas as one who stands at the brink of a sheet of water overflowing on all sides has for a small reservoir of water". Thus, in hinduism, there is no one set formual for all individuals. Hinduism recognises that each individual is unique and has a right to find his own path of salvation. Get it. First make a complete study of all hidu scriptures-then talk of hinduism. And also make a complete study of Quran, then come to talk.
