The balfour declaration was a public letter written by the british foreign secretary and drafted in support of the zionist goal to establish a national home for the jewish people. where did the letter suggest this homeland should be?

This was written last 1917 by the United the Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Walter Rothschild. It indicated that Palestine is the national territory of the Jewish people. Also, the letter further gave its vision of the place where Jewish can finally enjoy their rights on their own land. It was a plan of restoration of the Jews for being scattered in different areas because of the conflicts they had encountered. However, due to WWI the plan did not materialize and ended on compromise with Middle East Countries.

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
