My discussion with an ISKCON devotee
Swami Gulagulaananda said: " They argued over Schrodinger's cat and on opening the box saw a rock in it... " Dasa looked at me in disbelief. "Are you saying there is no God?" he asked. "I didn't say there is no God. I said that I don't think that God looks like a person" I replied. "Why not? What according to you is God?" he asked. "I am not sure. But I don't like the idea of a personal god. To me, the idea of God has to be intellectually stimulating. For instance, the idea of Brahman as God is something I'd like to pursue. Like energy, perhaps. That which is subtle, with no characteristics, present in everything... Maybe energy. Or many something like string theory with all the subtle vibrations. But the idea of someone who can give curses is something I'd not subscribe to" I replied. "That's Mayavada philosophy", spluttered Dasa, "Are you saying Krishna is not God?" I smiled at him
