Presumably you quote Bhakta-Parijna: 91, because you agree with it, and also
you know that it is in no way authoritive?

Is it the case that there is not anything more expansive than the sky? What
about the inner Kosmos or Mahat? Is there anywhere that spirit isn't?
Something may have even got lost or changed in the translation?

And can we be certain that there is no Dharma equal to Ahimsa
(non-violence?)...in this world? What about compassion - suffering - for
example?
