I beg the indulgence of the learned for coming

up with so basic a question.

 

I was explaining to a Dutchman basics of Hinduism

such as atman, reincarnation and so forth. So

this guy stumps me with this basic question -

 

" Ok so some person in the past asserted these

propositions. How did he convince his

listeners that these are truths and not

some fantasies of his mind" ?

 

Note that he is not asking for the usual

proofs that any non-religious person

demands nowadays. His question is a little

more subtle. He is really asking how you

recognize that person X is spiritually

enlightened and person Y isn't. Once you

are convinced that someone is enlightened,

there is no problem accepting his assertions -

but how do we tell who is and who isn't ?

 

Thanks.
