thx, my conclusion also; but your statement doesn't answer all of the fundamental questions. For example, is there a "need" (in relation to one's desires) to be devoted to ANY Buddha, Guru, or Deity? What say such devotees? Bascially, even in spite of accepting the Ultimate Reality as Brahman, there is much room (among many) for personal devotion;....However, there appears to be no room for Pure Consciousness in Christian Theology apart from a handful of Gnostics. ... Your statement also doesn't answer the question of what happens after death. I refer you to the "Resurrection of Shri Yukteswar".... "
