Question

Which of these scenarios describes a person demonstrating a key value of Hinduism?

A. A person worships his ancestors in his own way and avoids performing rituals or visitin temples.
B. A person punches a thief who has tried to steal several valuable artifacts from Hindu temple.
C. A person goes out of his way to help an injured stranger in hopes that he will be spiritually rewarded.
D. A person takes many risks because he believes that he has little control over his fate.

Answer 1

I think C as the person isn't showing any violence, is helping someone they don't know and is trying to please God.

Answer 2

The correct answer is "C".

Among Hindusim's practices are "The Eternal Duties", such as honesty, patience, forbearance, self-restraint, and compassion. In this case, attending an injured individual is a practice of the "eternal duty" of compassion. This action is seen as a good deed and will be eventually rewarded to the helping individual.
