I find sometimes devotees offer a bit of an "educated guess" at the answer,

but may not quote from any particular text, but I prefer such an answer.

Yes, email is always misunderstood, perhaps I should explain briefly, I

meant no disrespect to anyone, what I meant is anyone who has an answer,

please don't just make a guess at what you think the answer might be, but

quote from some scripture. I seem to remember the Garuda Purana may offer

some insight, can anyone confirm?

I was asked by a guest at the manor recently, and did not have a specific

answer.

With all due respect, I would have thought that obvious. When I read dialect

spiritualism, I see some philosophers had some ideas, and Srila Prabhupada

gave some credence, but he gave the Vedic perspective, putting the "icing on

the cake" in terms of transcendental knowledge, giving a fuller picture to

the reader. It seems some well known philosophers had partial knowledge, as

do some other religious systems.

 

Please can we stick to the point here, no getting personal or assuming what

another person means, perhaps ask first for clarification which Antardvipa

has nicley done in this case.

 

Thank you.

 

Your servant
