Illusion known as RP As I read what you have written and in your self realization it sounds like you are the equal of Brahman, It is no sense discussing anything because you are all knowing. When my nephew married a Hindi girl I decided i need to read the Veges they are very interesting but i also noticed that those boys knew ow to make up one heck of a batch of kick-a-poo juice. (No insult ash) so I take what is written with a grain of salt, and there are whole oceans full of it.
If you are a follower of Brahman you are a very small minority. I know for certain that religious beliefs were never meant to be stagnant because he,she,it or what ever is a living self reveling being and "when you think you know it all, there is more."
