| Hinduism | HINDUISM AND THE FOUR PATHS TO ENLIGHTENMENT
Hinduism is all about becoming one with Brahman (God). Through this process we shed selfish acts and practice devotion to God. Hindus rely on their personality to figure out which path is best for them to be with God. Although there are different paths, they all lead to God.
