When I found the source of great power was nothing It took me a long time to come to a understanding of it, but still I don't know it. I can even say I am so dumb I don't know even nothing. But it's even more, it's the interaction between everything and nothing. Even when everything is nothing.
I know its hard to understand why people do the things they do but maybe it like the story of Rama, and Ravana. If there was not something to learn then what would be the point. Or was it the test like being tested by fire. Both had respect for the other but what was the point of the story? Maybe Ravana test was death the one thing he feared the most but did he not over come it? But then when you passed the test would you wish to keep passing the same test? We all beleive that death isn't real but we all still choose to see it why? Even the people who are afraid to eat meat. I will thank the one who kills me. Bt you don't have to believe me.
You see you very words state my point which is he or she is alive. To not asume they not at every level can be a mistake. You see your very words state that point.
What if Krishna is my daughter or son, and Morerea is my wife or husband? You see to believe in something but then believe that something is not possible is another? Would I be wrong to make such a claim? Then there's something called oneness where do you draw the lines? Everyone wants to be right but who is right and who is wrong? To not beleive that Brahman is here right now could be a mistake. Even Ravana knew better did he not?
