Ravish,
It all depends on one's mindset.
I do not want to lecture on what is mind but we all know that this entity gets attracted or lost in allien stuffs merely by it inquisitiveness. There is an in-built check called Buddhi which gets duller and duller when not disciplined. This is when a person is lost.
A muslim tames the mind by inciting it against non-islamic people and to abide by the sharia by the pain of severe punishment. These minds are then launched into a force of intolerance and violence.
A Christian tames the mind by letting it be 'forgiven' for all crimes if a person would only convert to a religion of unrestrained wantonness.
We the Hindus are the only religion who believe in the disciplining of the mind from its meddling in others' liberties. This discipline comes from our chanting of Gayathri which prays to the deity Savithri to incite the buddhi so it comes alive and know the real from the unreal.
This is the source of our Dharma. Its object is to enable each person to his/her own unhindered pursuit of Purushaartha called Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
Don't you think it is worth fighting for this Dharma?
