All serious teachings recommend a serious transformation of our whole being in order to come to the Truth or the Real or God. Undertaking of that transformation is the real meaning of spiritual search. There are many common features of this search and the corresponding transformation in the Abrahamic traditions—including Judaism, Christianity and Islam—and the Indian traditions—including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. But there are also some radical differences which have a large effect on their teachings, practices and aims reflected in their corresponding philosophies and theologies. This course will explore both similarities and the differences and open up new conversation.
