Swami Vivekanand has listed seven common points of Hindu religions: 1. Religion is received through revelation, the Vedas. By Vedas no books are meant. They mean the accumulated treasury of spiritual laws discovered by different sages in different bodies. 2. Creation is without beginning or end. Creation and creator can be likened to two lines without beginning and without end. 3. We are a spirit living in a body. We are not the body. 4. The present is determined by our past actions and the future by the present. There must have been causes before the present birth to make a man miserable or happy and those were his past actions. Also the natural habits of a new-born soul must have come from past lives. 5. The soul in its very essence is free, unbounded, holy, pure and perfect. But the soul will go on evolving up or reverting back from birth to birth and death to death. 6. Worship Him, the God Almighty, through love, love for the loves sake without pre-conditions or expectation. 7. The whole object is by constant struggle to become perfect, to become divine, to reach God and see God. We can have the experience of God in this life.
