The Goal of Hinduism

"What is the goal of Hinduism?" I asked, moving to my next question.

"Perfection," he answered.

"What do you mean by perfection?"

"To become the perennial child of God, to become arya," Professor Sharma answered.

"When you are a child of God, what are you like?" I asked. "What are your characteristics, what is your nature? What are your thoughts?"

"For one thing, as it says in the Bhagavad Gita, ‘Don’t think what is right, don’t think what is wrong. You will be confused.’ So just say, ‘Whatever God has said in his scriptures, I shall follow that.’ And what is this scripture, what is this knowledge given by God? It is the Veda. It is called the Veda. By Veda I don’t mean the book. Bible literally means book, but Veda does not mean book. Veda refers to the knowledge."
