I don't think it  is a question of advantages but  a question of reality.  It is a
question of returning to the state we came from and of going home.   None of the view
points of impersonalism when anaylised are possible, even the buddhist ones.  The
answers create more problems than they answer.  This is how I have found it.  You may
find it different.  Yet no one has yet put forward an Impersonal Viewpoint that can
stand in my view.  Caitanya Mahaprabu contested this very thing with the leading
impersonal masters of his time and besides giving more points that I can think of to
show his point and disprove impersonalism, he brought all these great impersonalist
Yogis to his view.   Unfortunately I don't have the the ability of Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. Under scrutiny the advanced sage will find that everything else is simply
partial or illusory.
There is no darkness in the other.


Thank you for asking and I will try to find out where the "statements" etc that
Caitanya made can be found.
