Huston Smith Hinduism part I

What do people want?

In Hinduism you can have what you want. People want pleasure, and Hinduism says to go after it yet, seek it intelligently. Another thing people want is worldly success. People also want to go down the paths of desire and renunciation.

What do people really want?

Firstly, everyone wants to be nobody normally wants to die and people would normally want to be rather than not to be. Secondly we want to know. We are curious and have the desire to understand everything. The third thing people really want is joy, happiness and freedom from frustration and boredom.
