Jnanadeva and the Warkari Movement/Prof. Dr. Fred Dallmayr
Note 2
To this extent, Vithalpant's story illustrates a central point of bhakti religiosity: that the path
to God leads through the world, in an ascent of love.
This point, one may note, is reminiscent of Martin Buber's Hasidic outlook, expressed
in this statement: 'God carries his absoluteness into his relationship with man. Hence the man who turns toward him need not turn his back on any other I-Thou
relationship: quite legitimately he brings them all to God and allows them to become transfigured in the countenance of God." See Buber, I and Thou (New York: Scribners, 1970), p. 182.
