Okay..I wouldn't agree with the "one whose name starts with P" .
I think it is absolutely ridicoulus to take a text like that literal.
The whole story about picking up the sword again etc. .
It is all symbolic. |

What is not easily taken as symbolic are claims such as we are all one with krishna and at the same individual souls - or however they express it. I see them as beliefs and nothing within experiencing.. It's the old "believe what I say and look for yourself in reality to verify it, but if your verification fails, you need to meditate more, because what I say is true."
