Sundarar, i know i asked you this before but in what way do you know for certain that your experiences are real? How do you know they are not some form of hypnosis?

I don't mean to devalue your experience at all. I am just curious to know this because i don't want to fall into the trap of setting out on this yoga path only to find later on that my experiences were nothing much and i had fallen into delusion.

It seems completely impossible to know with 100% certainty that God exists. If you take the idea that God is both personal and impersonal (that is, a pantheism and God manifesting for the devotee in a personal form - NOT as a supreme person, as the hare krishnas believe) then how do you verify it? For example, supposing God manifested in a personal way - how could you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was God? Or supposing you experience God as impersonal - again, how do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt? It seems impossible to me.
