Reward Of Knowledge

“Knowledge is power, and the greatest reward of knowledge is knowledge itself”. To the world, that believes advancement in life in terms of material prosperity, this statement doesn’t hold well.

The material reward of the power of knowledge can be great but not greatest because before one begins to enjoy the material reward he dies. In fact, the greatest reward comes from the internal, spiritual, and eternal knowledge.

This “Gjana” or Eternal knowledge is the important subject of this land from time immemorial. This is the knowledge contemplated in the “Hindu Dharma” or Hindu way of Life. This knowledge is the outcome of the systematic, or scientific and logical researches conducted by the learned

Unlike other religions in the world Hindu religion does not claim any one prophet; it does not worship any one god; it does not subscribe to any one dogma; it does not believe in any one philosophical concept; it does not follow any one set of religious rites; or performances; in fact, it does not appear to satisfy the narrow traditional features of any religion or creed.

The statement that “Hinduism blended with Indian nationalism” seems to be intentional statement as Hindu believes in universal tolerance. Hindus are the only people in this world who can be killed or butchered in this world like dogs like the Jews of the early twentieth century.

These are some of the contemplations to define Hinduism. Many, Indians and foreigners, have done efforts on this line. Most of their efforts are subject to the epistemic of Greek generalization with heavy dose of subjectivity to suit their decisive
