Unlike all other religions which state,
"only through their particular religion one can attain salvation",
Hinduism states
"Salvation is for all irrespective one is a Hindu or not"
SALVATION in Hinduism is a very orderly process. According to Hindu scriptures, Salvation is for all. Nobody is denied salvation.
Even if one does not believe in God, the atheist and agnostic can attain salvation. One need not be a Hindu to attain salvation.. Everyone will finally attain salvation whether they believe in God or practice any religion.
In Hinduism SALVATION is known as SELF-REALIZATION or MOKSHA.
Religions are mere paths and not the final goal. We have to do things that will elevate us spiritually.
As such, some times, the rich man you just met, who is dazzling in luxury will be more matured spiritually, than the naked Sadhu you met in Benaras. As such sometimes the pretty model whom you met in
So we cannot judge anyone.
