Brahma, born into darkness, disconnected from his source & confused about his mission, reconnects through initiation into mantra / mundane austerity vs spiritual austerity / hankering & lamenting / exactly how is this world an illusion? / experiencing timelessness though bhakti / fearlessness by becoming a Vaikuntha man (person) / the formula for Vaikuntha - we are all centered around the root of all existence
