Pontus has served as good pilot; thanks.
I too smile when arrogant isolationists chant, 'Where are all the adwaithans.'
After all, those who cannot see Him even close at hand must needs misplace
adwaithans as well.
Too, perhaps discussion has waned since, as Swami Himself has said, "There is
actually no room for extracting some alternative meaning and then giving a
so-called esoteric dissertation on it."
To appreciate that in full, one might look closely at Swami Prapupaada's
published Translation of Geetaa 4.24:
===============================================================
A person who is fully absorbed in Krsna consciousness is sure
to attain the spiritual kingdom because of his full
contribution to spiritual activities, in which the consummation
is absolute and that which is offered is of the same spiritual
nature.
===============================================================
To those who read that verse _as it is_, there is no doubt what has become of
discussion with Iskconic proponents, , for faced with such a `translation',
one can but offer them all best wishes.
