The great point of contrast between Buddhism and Hinduism lies in the fact that Buddhism said, 'Realise all this as illusion',
while Hinduism said, 'Realise that within the illusion is the Real.' Of how this was to be done, Hinduism never presumed to enunciate any rigid law.
The Buddhist command could only be carried out through monasticism; the Hindu might be fulfilled through any state of life. All alike were roads to the One Real.
