The Source of All Existence Must Possess Personality
It is brilliantly written in the purport to the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust's edition of the Srimad Bhagavatam, Twelth Canto, Chapter 3, Text 43 as follows:
"The impulse to find the Absolute Truth, the source of all existence, has motivated philosophers, theologians and other intellectuals of various persuasions since time immemorial, and continues to do so today. However, soberly analyzing the ever-increasing plurality of so-called philosophies, religions, paths, ways of life and so on, we find that in almost all cases the ultimate objective is something impersonal or formless. But this idea of an impersonal or formlessure Absolute Truth has serious logical flaws. According to ordinary rules of logic, a particular effect should directly or indirectly embody the attributes, or nature, of its own cause. Thus that which has no personality or activity could hardly be the source of all personality and all activity."
A simple example of this is the ocean and the drop of ocean water. The drop embodies the attributes or nature of the ocean of which it is a part. In short, the drop of ocean water is qualitatively one with the entire ocean, although quantitatively different. Thus we, being persons, understand that the Complete Whole of which we are a part must necessarily also possess personality.
This means that those who deny that the ultimate source of everything is impersonal or void have descended into the realm of blind faith and fanaticism. Although misery enjoys company we would rather remain in the realm of the enlightened souls who clearly understand things as they are.

Answer: Awaken Your Dormant Krishna Consciousness
Dear Rajesh,
Please accept my blessings.
Acute awareness is fully attained when one is qualified to directly see God face-to-face, eye-to-eye. From the scriptures we know what He looks like as confirmed by great sages who are qualified to see Him directly. My spiritual master has taught the techniques for coming to that state. I teach them in my free e-course. One can join at: www.JoinCourse.com
