learning discernment through the Bhagavatam / universe is the impersonal way of saying Krishna / yoga is for connecting with the “Higher Power” / love requires more than one / Krishna is the root / devotees own Krishna & Krishna owns them / fear of a person / the material world is a warped reflection / pure bhakti is free from the desire to exploit, or escape, the material world / whatever it is, there’s always a person behind it / the esoteric vs the exoteric
