So long as agriculture is the all but universal occupation of the people, their material advancement will be retarded. Diversified industries and the growth of manufactures are needed. The building up of indus- trial and technical schools will doubtless be a help in these directions." A very common question which your representatives meet, and which I met, is the following : " Do you not believe in the ultimate salvation of all souls ; and, if not, is not your Christianity inferior to Hinduism,... which provides for the salvation of all ? " I said in reply : " In meeting such an inquiry, one must ask, what is DIFFICULTIES IN THE HINDU MIND 143 meant by salvation in either case ? With the Hindu, it is not deliverance from the guilt and pollution of sin, but final, unconscious absorption into the one immeas- urable All. And even this is open only to Brahmans. The other nineteen-twentieths of the people are with- out saving worship or ceremonies. They must go on following custom until 8,400,000 of re-births, with all the horrors of animal and demonic existence, shall finally bring them into a state to be born Brahmans.
