Comment: Should not be taken literally, should be seen as an allegory.
My reply: allegory def: a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.
No. God is not an allegory. The spiritual world is not an allegory. The
pastimes of the Lord and His incarnations are not allegories. Aesop's
fables are allegories...
The account of King Puranjana in the 4th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam is an allegory. But the appearance and activities of Jesus Christ is not an allegory. His crucifixion is not an allegory. The Battle of Kuruksketra is not an allegory. Lord Krishna's lifting Govardhana Hill is not an allegory.
The nature of the Supreme is absolute. Non different. The pastimes do not refer someone to something else. They are what they are. Absolute.
The Holy Name of the Lord is non-different from Lord Krishna. Chanting Hare Krishna not done to get something else. This is my personal realization. You are entitled to your views. But I do not agree with you.
