God is impossible to avoid.

There's nowhere that you, no experience that is possible without the infinite in the background. No experience. This is Ramakrishna's experience, etc. And they all kind of had different ways of transcending. So Ramakrishna is, you know, he's very much tuned into the symbolic nature of the Divine Mother.
