Love, Ishvara and Informal Devotion to God - James Swartz - Yoga of Love, Vedanta, Bhakti Sutra

By reading Vedanta texts it is easy to misinterpret them. Ignorance and knowledge are mixed up. Teaching makes difference between ignorance and knowledge clear. Live your life based on knowledge not on emotions. Isvara and action.
What is real? You see reality on the basis of your experiences.
Reflecting media. Three gunas and the mind.
2. Informal devotion. Personal deity, ishta devata. Religion. Influence and judgements of the family. God is a helpful concept in the mind.
God doesn’t judge. Dead gurus don’t judge. Living gurus make you grow. In informal devotion you bring God down to your level. Vedanta lifts you up to Gods level. Karma Yoga as the beginning stage.
