A question has arisen as to when philosophy takes over from religion:
In the decision on whether to enact the provisions of one's Religion or the Philosophy upon which it is based, the author argues that one needs to be adaptable, putting on one hat for social interactions and another for political ones. This is necessary for peace of mind, the most essential part of the attraction of Vishista Advaita Vedanta for me. Every moment the slate has to be cleaned, the slate of mind that is and one would nonchalantly, spontaneously and unpremeditatedly truth-accommodate (advaita, in my conception, the oneness of Reality).

That is the most important consideration for a Vishista Advaita Vedantist. 2. This leaves me open to campaign for the Liberal Democrats as the only Party that goes some way towards the ideals that I have in my mind, and my membership must not be stopped by the Liberal as someone had indicated earlier to me in consideration that I had another political party that I stood for in The Conservative Libertarian Party of the United Kingdom: this is history now, and I wish to do whatever I can politically to help the debate and so wish to engage in full participation at the following event:

The ideal is impossible as panacea for all and also as elixir-of-conduct for the individual, in the uncertainties of Nature that one has to deal with so that religion (dharma) is non-existent in my psyche once again.

There was a need to look for alternatives in every issue that one arrives at stumbling blocks, but in the end common-sense prevails when one truth-accommodates as we do in satya-advaita yoga. There is no virtue in being idealistic, one has to accept the reality on the ground and this is well contained in the philosophy of Vishista Advaita Vedanta, that supercedes the practice of the imagined religion of Vaishnavism that I was actively pursuing, which means it was an attachment, not conducive to the philosophy at all. So it is hereby jettisoned, I cannot describe myself as a Vaishnavist following any religion as dharma let alone Sanatan Dharma as a service in bhakti to God, be that Sri Krishna directly or Sri Krishna as Vishnu under which the philosophy was constructed by me.
In short, I regard myself now at this moment in time as simply a Vishista Advaita Vedantist.https://theconservativelibertariansociety.com/post/the-search-for-a-new-source-of-medical-assessment

I am resigned to the new reality as a telephone call to the Surgery following a text that I received to remind me of an appointment tomorrow morning, was returned by the doctor who had examined my latest email sent to the Surgery last night and we were free and open in the disucssion which reinstated my realisation that in the United Kingdom there is no other body dealing with independent medical services for patient, all such private institutions being inter-connected and dominated by the government of the National Health Service. So in my vision as President of The Conservative Libertarian Society and General Secretary of The Conservative Libertarian Party of the United Kingdom that I wish to pursue I had to accept the jurisdiction of my personal doctor in my Surgery as the conversation ended and I said to him 'You decide what is best'.
