Sympathy And Fear Solve Temporarily

The identification of the exact solution is very important to eradicate the corruption, which is the real filtering screen. You cannot control the implementing authorities by appeals or by threatening with punishments. If you appeal or threaten, there will be some partial control, which is also temporary. Both these methods cannot bring complete and everlasting controls. The Christianity believed in creating sympathy through appeals. They always show the crucifixion of Jesus with the blood. They create more concern in your heart by saying that Jesus underwent crucifixion for the sake of your sins and try to transform the heart through kindness and love.

This is certainly a good method to bring transformation. The Islam tries to bring the transformation through fear by showing the punishments. Of course, the Christianity also shows the eternal Hell finally for the punishment. All these methods are good in the case of illiterate and ignorant people but the implementing machinery consists of high intellectuals and doubts the very existence of Hell and God. Their faith on God is theoretical and fails in practical implementation. The intellectual is always convinced by logical analysis. This is the reason for the extraordinary development of Metaphysics in Hinduism.

The sub-sects in Hindu Religion neither adapt the method of sympathy nor the method of fear to propagate the Religions. The Vaishnava Sub-religion does not show the weeping Rama in the forest nor does the Shaiva Sub-religion show Lord Shiva drinking the fuming poison for the sake of the protection of the world. These sub-religions never impose threatening policies to propagate their Gods. These methods may be good in the case of the illiterate masses and hence, were adopted in certain times, in certain places and under certain circumstances. The best method of propagation is always logical analysis and it is successful in all times, at all places and under all circumstances.

Therefore, the debates between the Scholars of the sub-religions of Hinduism take place even today. There is neither the element of sympathy nor the element of terrorism in the effort of propagation of their sub-sects. The Scholars of Advaita, Vishishta Advaita and Dvaita continue the debates even today. Such debate is based on the quest for truth and there should be no enmity or hatred or any ill-feeling.
