{FN44-13} The unique feature of Hinduism among the world religions
is that it derives not from a single great founder but from the
impersonal Vedic scriptures. Hinduism thus gives scope for worshipful
incorporation into its fold of prophets of all ages and all lands.
The Vedic scriptures regulate not only devotional practices but all
important social customs, in an effort to bring man's every action
into harmony with divine law.
{FN44-14} A comprehensive Sanskrit word for law; conformity to law
or natural righteousness; duty as inherent in the circumstances in
which a man finds himself at any given time. The scriptures define
DHARMA as "the natural universal laws whose observance enables man
to save himself from degradation and suffering."
{FN44-15} MATTHEW 7:21.
{FN44-16} MATTHEW 26:52.
{FN44-17} "Let not a man glory in this, that he love his country;
Let him rather glory in this, that he love his kind."-PERSIAN
PROVERB.
{FN44-18} "Then came Peter to him and said, Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus
saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until
seventy times seven."-MATTHEW 18:21-22.
{FN44-19} Charles P. Steinmetz, the great electrical engineer, was
once asked by Mr. Roger W. Babson: "What line of research will see
the greatest development during the next fifty years?" "I think the
greatest discovery will be made along spiritual lines," Steinmetz
replied.
