IN RESPONSE TO THE APPREHENSION OF ONE IN REGARD TO MY POST WHICH STATES THAT 'THIS ATMAN WITHIN IS GOD, IS ME' :

I can understand but then this is the essence of the Vedanta, its climactic realisation. You mean the misinterpretation of the statement or the stated philosophy can be dangerous. Is this your apprehension? Swami Vivekananda has his own ideas as he has clearly articulated in his celebrated lecture 'Is Vedanta the Future Religion' delivered at San Francisco during his second trip to the West. It is an eye-opener for us and needs to be studied by all and contemplated deeply on to find the way out of the labyrinth of dualistic modes and methods which at any rate has held humanity down since time immemorial.
