Hindu vs. Abrahamic Scriptures

Here is a thought-provoking comment I came across recently. From ZN:

The reason I think the Hindu scriptures are frankly superior to those from the Abrahamic faiths is because they provide the keys to the actual meanings of the ideas involved. They are esoteric as opposed to the jumble of exoteric phrases one finds in the Bible - which I'm sure you would agree can lead to so many different interpretations & with more of an emphasis on the outer form of a teaching. One example I came across just the other day was a passage in the Vedas which spoke of the 'body being the temple of God (Shiva). As you know that's where the Bible leaves it, whereas the Vedas expand on the concept speaking of Shiva being the Oversoul, The Self within all beings etc. The quotes you posted in this video likewise give greater insight into the real meanings of spiritual truths.

Countless layers of priestly and scribal interpolations and redactions have indeed rendered much of the Abrahamic scriptural collection almost useless in terms of being a potent tool for enlightenment. In fact, these scriptures have proven to be a source of so much fanaticism, schizophrenic conceptions of religion, and mind-control ideologies/dogmas over the course of many centuries. Whereas, Eastern scriptures tend to get right to the point and provide clear and practical enlightenment teachings; no confusing obscurantism or fuzzy parables required.
