The Hindu Life
Hindu people always try hard to be better people. They believe that their spirit returns after death but in a different form.
To understand how a Hindu person always tries to improve, one must try to understand their code for life.
There are four rules which every Hindu applies to their own life:
- Always do one's duty. This is different things to different people, but everyone tries to do it to the best of their ability. If you are a parent your duty to your child is to provide a home, warmth, food, clothes and an education. In return, the child has a duty to be thankful to his parents, work hard to make the best of his education, and respect the people who provide for him.
- Earn money honestly to keep one's family.
- Live life to the full, but with moderation.
- Strive to better one's reincarnation.
Reincarnation
The sort of life lived by a Hindu person affects what his spirit returns as. The idea is to keep rising up the animal chain, starting at something like a tortoise and after many improvements becoming a human and eventually a priest. The quest through these different lives is to attain knowledge and understanding. The ultimate goal is to achieve a state whereby one has knowledge and so does not have to be reincarnated again.
