Freedom or
Moksha is the very goal of Hindu though, but this is not freedom within the field of time
(which being limited is the realm of bondage) but freedom to transcend time.
Western tends to mean modern, as Eastern tends to mean ancient. However in a hundred
years, India or China could be at the forefront of technology or what we now call Western
civilization. In the thirteenth century the Chinese had gunpowder and the compass, the
basis of modern technology, and the Europeans were technologically primitive. Such
temporal distinctions are seldom enduring.
Yet by Western culture today neither Western religions nor Western intellectual culture is
usually meant. It is Western popular or commercial culture: rock music, movies,
television, fast food, and so on. |
