“God wants nothing from us. In that sense, then, He is completely impersonal. At the same time, however, He is very intimately personal where we ourselves are concerned, for He wants for each of us, His creatures, the perfection of absolute Bliss. Sanaatan Dharma offers a blend, one which, to reason itself, is perfectly acceptable, between God as both impersonal and personal. God, as Krishna explains in the Bhagavad Gita, and as I said earlier, dreamed everything into existence. He couldn’t mold anything, outwardly, for there was nothing “out there” to mold nothing in existence anywhere but His own consciousness.”
