“Now I don't want you to think of Brahman as a sort of vast blob of perfectly transparent jello which penetrates the whole world. I think that's what many people imagine when they hear this kind of thing. The whole point of the Brahman idea is missed when you form any image of it in your mind at all, even jello, even empty space, or boundless light. Brahman is what we ourselves really are, what this whole universe is, fundamentally and actually.”
— Alan Watts, On The Bhagavad Gita
