Re: OM SHRI GANESHAYA NAMAH!
Pranam Rudrabhakt, and warm welcome here.
I wish you all the best on your spiritual journey as a Dharmi, and also appreciate your years' efforts, your realisations with the mahāvākya.
Though I am a born Indian Hindu, the real entry point for me was another mahāvākya, "Satyam-Shivam-Sundaram". And though today I no more look up to Vedanta (but consider it as an important tradition) I do enjoy the company of Hindus who are bhakta-s and advanced into their own paths.
Sometimes it may so happen that you, or your views, may not be accepted by other Hindus, and you may even feel opposition, or some denial. But it also is understood that in the path of Dharma we reinvent our whole selves, and this in itself is a "violent" act. And then there is burden, we all have near and dear souls, who care for us, and need to be taken care of, so it is never a exercise for a personal "moksha" to even start with.
Sri Ram.
Things to remember:
1. Life = yajña
2. Depth of Āstika knowledge is directly proportional
to the richness of Sanskrit it is written in
3. Āstika = Bhārata ("east") / Ārya ("west")
4. Varṇa = tripartite division of Vedic polity
5. r = c. x²
where,
r = realisation
constant c = intelligence
variable x = bhakti
