I believe that this is also the key to understanding why there
is no similar recourse to the individual in other religions. In
the last analysis Hinduism seeks not the whole but the individual
who saves himself, who escapes from the world, the wheel of Maja.
Precisely because at bottom it does not want the whole but only
to rescue the individual from wickedness it can never recognize any
other individual as finally significant and decisive for my
salvation. Its devaluation of the whole thus becomes a devaluation
of the individual as well, in the "For" disappears as a category.
