    Beautiful piece of work. Thanks Swami. Blessings on all you take on. Your last words re Sri Ramakrishna seeing this world as a mansion of mirth brought these spontaneous 'verses' ; It's a Gita, it's a Song, it's a Mansion of Mirth, It's a total trip from death to birth; let me rock 'n roll, let me shine on through, this (crazy) world of black and blue, take it to the limit, go all the way, then come on back and live another day; or stay where you are, it's its what you want, just make it happen, be an Un-Daunt. thanks again Swami. Se, in Ireland☘

    IMO what both/and really means is, not is God both personal and impersonal, He is many other things besides, and this is what I believe will form the bulwark of religious inquiries going forward,in the coming Satya Yuga, and this will finally establish Thakur’s true worth in the spiritual canon. It’s immaterial whether he was really the greatest of all Avatars, and would in fact go against the very grain of his teachings,which emphasised the equal salvific efficacy of all paths, but his real speciality was the playing of melodies on the spiritual flute, and not sticking to a single tone all the time, which is why all aspirants who came to him thought him to be one of their own, the Vaishnavas thought of him as Chaitanya incarnate and so on. But this pithy statement, that God was many things besides is something so intriguing that it will continue to blow the mind of many a spiritual aspirant to come. And one can’t even aspire to come to grips with such a notion however hard one might try, for how can something be neither of form nor formless, it’s the most counterintuitive notion one has ever come across, maybe the coming Avatar will build on that. That reminds me, the quantum particle itself is neither of form nor formless, it exists as a linear superposition of Fock states, neither of which have a true representation as a tangible object in spacetime, and since each of them is just related to the vacuum state by a Fock space rotation, they are just Brahman from a different perspective. This is why true Brahmajnanis see everything suffused with consciousness, which is nothing but Brahman. This is why each of us is suffused with consciousness and is none other than That.

    No actual they can't because of a scriptural reasons. Because Islamic book the quoran says "no god worthy of worship but allah" and the Christian Bible declare "gods of gentiles (non jews) are demons" so no they'll never accept it

Throughout the gospel he repeatedly emphasised the harmony of all religions and how they can all bring you to god. That was literally one of bis main teachings
