As you read, ask yourself and consider for journaling: (1) Do you agree with the Hindu description of the Atman or true self? (2) How are the human problems and solutions different in Hinduism than in Western religions (e.g., Judaism, Christianity)? Which makes more sense to you and why? (3) How are Brahman and God similar in Western religions and how are they different? Why? (4) How is Atman is Brahman similar to Christian views of humans created in Gods Image? How is it different?

A journal entry consists of two parts:
1. The first part is a direct quotation of the part you noted from the text, copied word for word, and enclosed in quotation marks. Be sure to include the author's last name and the page number of the quotation in parentheses after the quotation. MLA format requires that you use the last name, a space, and then the number, e.g., (Ludwig 89).
2. The second part of the journal entry is a paragraph that explains why you found the passage to be important or interesting. Sometimes students ask questions about the reading, or they explain it, or relate to it in some way. Whatever you do, do not simply summarize the contents of the passage. Instead, go beyond it somehow, analyze it, offer thoughts about why it seems important to you or to others. In essence, by writing about the importance of the passage, you will give it meaning.
