Hindu
Religion
"The
Hindu's have always known this philosophy of freedom of action,
for the reason that they had a perfect religion, a religion on
which one aspect of God was characterized as human, and their
various Deva's are nothing but various characteristics of human
nature, each of them adored and worshipped. In this way not only
God, but the whole human nature in all its aspects was adorned
and worshipped.
It is that which makes the Hindu religion perfect".
Hazrat Inayat Khan, Lectures on Sufism 1922 II.
