The yogi can relate to his Beloved in the form of a personal relationship-as a friend, a child, a spouse.

All forms of God are equally suitable for love. (165) ↗

What we have at present is a system of loss socialism. Whatever goes wrong is shouldered by the general public and anything that works is privatised. Worshippers of market freedom have suspended the most important economic principle: Risk and liability go hand in hand. ↗
