    That last part is precisely what a hindu text (the bhagwad gita) says. That to meditate on focusing on the unmanifest and abstract element is hard to conceive for the average human. Thus it is recommended to fixate the mind towards the humanised form of “god”

    In that way i found the text to be quite self-aware

      Self aware, but then it gives advice to brainwash yourself?? That sounds ill advised. A concept formed on a poor foundation cannot grow in to an actual understanding of much of anything.

      Yes, reality is difficult, but reality is reality. To choose anything but reality is to literally deny existence itself.
