WHAT IS LOGIC?
Blessed self!
My pranams,
I have no quarrels with your subjective experience nor with that of Bon
Giovanni who posted in the net glorifying Sri Satya Sai Baba as Purna
Avatar, that is equivalent to your God-Head Lord Krishna. In fact, I am
happy for both of you that you found solace and comfort in the Bhakti of
your Ishta Devata.
Subjective experience is by definition is subjective and not objective.
I am not denying your experience, How can I? - because in my very denial
too there is a subjectivity.
What is not logical, of course, is to claim that my experience alone is
right and not the experience of others.
If you find peace that passth all understanding through Bhakti on Lord
Krishna - good for you.
If others find the same peace and tranquillity through the worship of Siva
or Ganesha or Satya Sai Baba - and some through Gyana - Good for them too.
Any claims that your experience alone is right and not the others borders
to fanaticism not logic.
MAY LORD KRISHNA BLESS YOU WITH THE ABUDENCE OF LOVE FOR HIM. I HOPE YOU
SEE KRISHNA IN AND THROUGH ALL FORMS AS THE THREAD IN THE NECKLESS OF
PEARLS. AS HE DECLARES IN THE GEETA (9-4 ) HE PERVADES THE ENTIRE
UNIVERSE IN THE UNMANIFESTED FORM. "maya tata midam sarvam jagadavyakta
murthina"
HARE KRISHNA.
Sadananda - who finds peace and solace in Lord Krishna in my own way of
understanding!
Hari Om!
