A Bridge of Ideas
What connects your exploration of Kierkegaard's 'The Sickness Unto Death' to Roshen Dalal's 'Hinduism' is a profound, shared meditation on the fundamental human condition of anxiety and the diverse paths toward overcoming it. Both works, though separated by vast philosophical and geographical landscapes, offer intricate frameworks for understanding the internal struggles that plague the self – the 'sickness unto death' of despair for Kierkegaard, and the cycles of attachment and suffering (dukkha) within the Hindu worldview. You've unknowingly drawn a bridge between existentialist angst and dharmic liberation, finding common ground in the human yearning for meaning and transcendence.
