It is also said that the idea of a nondual identity of jivatma and Paratma promotes atheism, and personally I have felt that effect of Ramana on me. It's not something I feel good about. > 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.
