Wait, both question and answer are surely tricks of illusion right? That
brings to mind the issue of whether or not there is some point in answering an
illusory question with an illusory answer...

Errr. But wait. I thought everything is one. How is it possible for the One to
be one thing and not another? Actually, does not the statment "HE IS a
VAISHNAVA, but NOT a HINDU" apply equally to Ramakrishnan as well as to the
person alluded to in Vivek's story? After all, it's all one, right? So that
person in Vivek's story is surely nondifferent from Ramakrishnan.

yours,
Ramakrishnan
p.s. Actually, my name is Krishna Susarla, but I finally read the Kama Sutra
and having thus understood the oneness of everything now realize that I am,
indeed, nondifferent from Ramakrishnan Balasubramaniam. It was a monumental
day when I gained this great enlightenment of our identity; my eyes filled
with tears.... errr, of joy. Yeah.

Indeed. Kudos to Sree Ajay Shah. Surely we can all work together to promote
Hindu dharma. I'm glad that only articles relevant to Hindu dharma are
posted here. I won't ever doubt his moderating abilities again.
