the suffix "pal" (long vowel sound) means protector or protection. as in Ne-pal, Go-pal, kshetra-pal

If you were to say your name with the vowel conjunction sounding like the o in "on" than your name would be written पाल otherwise if you were to pronounce it with the subtle twist towards the u then it would be पौल.

would you be able to identify the stresses in pronouncing your name. long or short vowel sounds etc...

You seem to have written you query in poetic prose. This might alter the context of what you are trying to say. For example, will what you have learned from someone inspire you forever, or is this a continuation of a sentence from before. Also will you be focusing on the person you have learned from or the things you have learned as the inspiration?

The only criteria are sincerity and dedication. If you have the two of these you will succeed in your endeavors. Make your goal urgent and you will achieve it.

1. You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. 2. I slept and dreamt that life was Joy. I woke and saw that life was Duty. I acted, and behold, Duty was Joy.

Who is ready? Make a decision, stick with it, and stay on The Path of self-realization. If you desire to know your true self and your pure relation to your surrounding before the demise of your body then you must do whatever is necessary to accomplish this. Death does not wait for us to be ready for it. Death waits for no one. If there is this type of sincerity to become self-realized then it matters not what you do. Your karma for causing discomfort to others due to your determination to the Path shall be burned. This has been promised. If the only thing left on your Path is for you to take sanyas and you are determined than you shall achieve it. Sanyas should be a step on the path you have undertaken. You should first have a clear goal and in as much as sanyas is part of that goal it should be done. However, the taking of sanyas should not be the goal in and of itself.

Dear Bart, I know that the Brahma Samhita with purports by Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati and Bhaktivinode Thakur are pretty detailed with regards to who we are in identity and how free will is arranged. Hari has 3 classifications of Shakti. Antaranga, Tatastha, and Bahiranga. We are little sparks of the same of which Hari is (sat, cit, ananda)(but from the Tatastha Shakti), due to this we are "little" isvaras, yet we have a flaw (due to us being "little" Isvaras of the Tatastha Shakti) which allows us to become influenced by not just YogaMaya, but MahaMaya as well. The Antaranga Shakti and Shaktiman are never under the influence of Mahamaya, but can be of YogaMaya. Their drawings from the verses are pretty deep. I think you'd appreciate what is said there regarding the jivatma, vibhinamsa, etc... With regards to what Arjun saw on the battlefield while witnessing Vishvarup, it seems to me that he was pretty descriptive and detailed with what he saw. With regards,
