Hail Pandu - In response to your letter - I offer these thoughts:-

 

 

The goal is to become united in oneness with the All Highest, and once

this is achieved you no longer serve any "Other Power" for there is no

longer anyone to serve but onesself.

 

So devotion to Krishna is not an end, but a means.

 

For not until freed from love and hate does the Pure Land reveal

itself. One tenth of an inch difference, and Heaven and Earth are set

apart.
