Each person has a different conception of God and goodness, according to one's upbringing and the state of purification of their impulses.  All conceptions are valid; when water is let out in fields, you will find sheets of different shapes - circular, rectangular, oval, square, according to the shape of the fields. The fertility or the quantity of the crops harvested do not vary according to the geometrical correctness of the shapes.  How far, how fast you have established attachment to the Lord - that is the test, the rest does not matter!

"Simple faith in the words of the wise is more profitable than years of study and discussion." - Baba
