EXPLANATION of my post of yesterday about the two most misunderstood, misquoted and misused terms to eulogize Hinduism which, in fact, demean it! SARVA DHARM SAMBHAVA. 1. Hinduism proclaims equality of all religions. In other words, it does not claim superiority over other religions. 2. Hinduism teaches tolerance meaning it does not justify any reaction against excess or discrimination. 1. The misunderstanders, misquoters and misusers should know that this Vaidic utterance was coined by SAGES to dispel sharp differences over Interpretation of Shaastras emphasizing basic unity of all faiths emanating from Hinduism including BUDDHISM, DUAITAVAAD AND ADVAITAVAAD. THERE WAS NO FAITH IN QUESTION EXCEPT THE VAIDIC FAITH. 2.Hinduism teaches Tolerance. Those who misunderstand, misquote and misuse it should know that Hinduism clearly and emphatically teaches that it is relative, not an absolute attribute term. It teaches there is a limit to tolerance and the person who crosses this limit despite warning should be dealt with sternly. THE EPIC RAMAYANA AND MAHABHARATA and most of all THE GITA emphasize it, RAMA had warned RAWANA and his kin as also SENAPATIS through words of mouth and messengers not to test his patience and tolerance and FINISHED HIM LOCK STOCK AND BARREL when he did not yield. IN THE MAHABHARATA, Pandava elders request the KAURAVAS now and again to vacate injustice and destroyed them LOCK STOCK AND BARREL when they dd not yield.. THE BEST EXAMPLE IS THE GITA, a part of the MAHABVHARATA, wherein Krishna tells Ajuna in shloka safter shloka to kill your tormentors (in aatataiyon ko maar) and described him as impotent when he dithers because he did not want to kill his kin and teachers hefaced on the battle field. BUT THE BEST EXAMPLE IS when Krishna kills hin kinsman SHASHPAL WHEN HE REFUSED TO HEAR HIS WARNING I WILL TOLERATE YOUR 100 ABUSES AND KILL YOU IF YOU SURPASS THIS LIMIT. All of us know what Krishna did.
