Dr. Koenraad Elst “Ramakrishna Mission’s ambition to outgrow - TopicsExpress



          

Dr. Koenraad Elst “Ramakrishna Mission’s ambition to outgrow Hinduism, be “universal” is a form of hubris. In Greek religion, hubris, or man’s will to be equal to Gods, is the cardinal sin. In Christianity too, Adam and Eve committed hereditary sin, not by lust … but by hubris: initially innocent creatures, they wanted to be equal to God, who knows good and evil. In this respect, at least, many—it would be hubris to assert “all”—religions agree, and they happen to be right. So, let us stop this bad habit of making claims about “all” religions, including those that we know only hazily or not at all.”
