RETURN TO HINDUISM, RETURN TO ROOTS 



RETURN TO HINDUISM, RETURN TO ROOTS


According to Islam kafirs (unbelievers in Islam) will forever burn in Jahannam (Hell) but Muslims ☪️ will either directly go to Jannat (Heaven) or after a specified period of burning in Hell ascend to eternal Heaven. What a partial and damning judgment on non-Muslims, based not on virtue or vice, spirituality or otherwise but merely on acceptance or rejection of a creed! Indeed, the Divine ought to be better disposed to His entire creation and not so biased as to surely merit ultimate rejection and make believers eventually seek succour at the lotus feet of the Ishwar of the Sanatan Dharma who is merciful and benign, wise and loving, and never frightening or punishing as it were.


In the Sanatan Dharma the Law of Karma brings in inevitable consequences of action, there is no Day of Judgment and neither Heaven nor Hell is final abode for any. Mukti, that is, liberation from the cycle of recurring birth and death in the absolute realisation of one's own divinity, is the endpoint of spiritual evolution of the embodied being, now in terminal transcendence completely disembodied, at one with the essence of the Being. Instead of God dispensing judgement on the individual, it is the individual who in rational discrimination banishes this hallucination of God and His phenomenal creation -- in Hindu parlance, manifestation -- forever and like mist it disappears revealing the Reality of his eternal existence. What a stupendous difference in clarity of conception, in philosophical profundity, literally poles apart! So, banish superstition and return to Hinduism. Return to roots.
