Felt needs in Philosophical Hinduism

I think I would approach the Hindu on the basis of the fact that he believes that his actions are ruled by the Law of Karma. He can and does do things which he judges as wrong. He identifies those actions as wrong and they have bad consequences in his life, both now and in future existences. 

 I might begin talking about the fact that I sometimes have done something that I think is wrong. I might ask if he also sometimes feels that he  (or someone else he knows) has done something wrong. Then I might say ”I , also, know that I experience a wrongness in my life. I am not happy about that. Could I tell you how I am freely given a way out , a way in which I am set free of that wrong that I do?  

 I would not say that the wrong in my life is the result of  my being separated from God. That might be a premature cut off, since he believes that he is a manifestation of god, so he would think that what I said was nonsense. How could he be separated from god? He is god.  ( From KB 2/01)
