"Hinduism
is wholly free from the strange obsession of the Semitic faiths that the
acceptance of a particular religious metaphysic is necessary for salvation,
and non-acceptance thereof is a heinous sin meriting eternal punishment in
hell. Here and there outbursts of sectarian fanaticism are found recorded in
the literature of the Hindus, which indicate the first effects of the
conflicts of the different groups brought together into the one fold; but the

adapted to each other. The Hindu took up the gods of even the savage and the uncivilised and set them on equal thrones to his own....
