What is the most important matter of Hinduism?
The Answer from Darshani.
Hinduism
is the only religion in the world that has no human founder.
The word
Hinduism comes from 'Indus'.
Indus were a contemplative society of
people who lived along the Indus river.
They had no formal religion.They sat and
meditated deeply,
realizing
the Truth of their Oneness with God and the entire universe.
Those
experiences were recorded, and became the basis of
what we
call 'Hinduism' today.
Hinduism
says that TRUTH IS WITHIN ,
that in
order to find peace and happiness , we must turn WITHIN.
We must still our minds so that our
hearts can turn to God.
Unlike
any other religion,
Hinduism does not say we must go to a
House of Worship to be saved.
It tells us that every human heart is
the House of God,
and that
therefore, we are already saved.
We need only to awaken to our
sacredness.
Hinduism
is the only religion that does not want to convert anybody.
While
Christian churches in India work very hard to convert people
and bring them into their church,
Hindu temples often do not allow
non-Hindus to enter.
This is because non-Hindus can not
understand the Hindu way of worship
and that
wrong understanding hurts them and other worshippers.
Hinduism
is the only religionin which God and the universe
is not regarded as separate from the
worshipper.
It says
that God MANIFESTED Himself as the entire universe.
This means that wherever we look,
whoever we see, we are looking at God.
All other religions say that God CREATED
the world.
This
means that everyone is a separate entity and that all of us are separate from
God.
In such
a philosophy, meditation and prayer become difficult
because we are trying to contact an
Entity outside of ourselves.
In Hinduism, meditation and prayer are
easy.
All we have to do is tosilence the
static within,
and to listen to the Core of our heart.
That
holiest Voice speaks through our silence.
