1. In what ways might Vedantic Hinduism's vision of Brahman and Non-duality help some of the world's problems today (e.g., crime, conflicts and war, economic issues, environmental problems)?
2. Consider the ideas of karma and reincarnation. How do they compare with biblical and Judeo-Christian answers to the perennial questions of: "Why is there evil and suffering?" "Why does life seem unfair?" Which answers to these questions make the most sense to you and why?
3. "Atman is Brahman" and "That One, Thou Art". What do you think of these Hindu answers to questions about the Self and God? Are they appealing to you or do they repulse you? Why? Do you see any truth in them? Why or why not?
