Key Notes
Asha is constantly becoming, has no endpoint, and differs for each person while still moving the world toward virtue and justice.
The class is not about memorized answers but about asking hard questions and rebuilding oneself through dialogue, debate, and possible future correction.
Asha has no endpoint in one lifetime; reincarnation lets the person return repeatedly and move closer each time.
