Thus the two essential points of Christianity sin and salvation are both missing in the East. If there is no sin, no salvation is needed, only enlightenment. If I am part of God. I can never really be alienated from God by sin. Body, matter, history and time itself are not independently real, according to Hinduism.
Mystical experience lifts the spirit out of time and the world.
Incarnation and New Birth are eternity dramatically entering time. Eastern religions are not dramatic. The ultimate Hindu ideal is not sanctity but mysticism. Mysticism is fundamentally a matter of intellect, intuition, consciousness. This fits the Eastern picture of God as consciousness not will, not lawgiver.
