Guest guest Posted April 27, 2002 Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 For instance, the Mohammedan religion allows Mohammedans to kill all who are not of their religion. It is clearly stated in the Koran, " Kill the infidels if they do not become Mohammedans. " They must be put to fire and sword. Now if we tell a Mohammedan that this is wrong, he will naturally ask, ''How do you know that? How do you know it is not good? My book says it is. " If you say your book is older, there will come the Buddhist, and say, my book is much older still. Then will come the Hindu, and say, my books are the oldest of all. Therefore referring to books will not do. Where is thc standard by which you can compare ? -- ______________________________ Today we continue: PRACTICAL VEDANTA III (Delivered in London, 17th November 1896 This lecture is found in Vol. II of the Complete Works, pg. 328-340.
