It strikes me as analysis without explanation. Adi Da seems to go to great lengths (literally) to describe what is, but seems to offer little in the way of explanation as to why it is so. I don't pretend that the human mind can fully comprehend divine purpose, but one of the things I find very attractive about CWG is that it makes a serious effort not just to describe but to explain.

A child's first question is the deceptively simple "Why?". It is the unquenchable thirst to know why that motivates all science and all human inquiry. Yet religions invariably throw up their hands and say "it's a mystery" whenever pressed to explain themselves.

To rest in God is to know perfect satiety. Thus to the extent we find ourselves asking "Why?" is the extent to which we distance ourselves from God. And, conversely, the resonance of any truth can be measured by the extent to which it removes the "why" from our soul.
