p.202-203/Why should God be part of the world ? Why should God not be part of the world ? Who is God ? Why does the world matter so much ? Why does the world exist ?

Is he, or she, Brahma, so passionate about life that he/she has totally identified him/herself with the outside world, losing all sense of self ?

Perhaps he, or she, is Indra still waiting to realize that the world is not limited by his or her vision and vocabulary.
