What does Hinduism or Vedanta teach?
"To whom? To a pregnant lady?
'Get ready for delivery! That is Brahman...'
What else will you teach?
To a student - 'study. Make your body strong, memory strong, judgement quite right.'
To a military man - 'beware of your enemies, don't ell them the whole truth, how many soldiers you have got, how many weapons are old and rotten. Don't tell that. Bluff them. If you can avoid the fight that way, so much the better. Don't tell the exact truth.'
It depends on what is the person concerned and how he is situated. Accordingly, you teach.
To a military man, you use the military things.
To a teaching man, the teaching techniques.
To a money making man, things related to the production of wealth, the investment of wealth. How to produce further wealth, further occupation for people, and to make many more things for use among people.
To a servant? The best way in which he can get employed.
What else will you teach? You can't teach the same thing to everybody, for daily life is not the same.

Tastes and temperaments are not the same but the fact that the spirit in everybody, is the same. How to tune himself from this situation - military man from his fortress or in the impending battle area, what will he do to tune God in? He must have minimum killing and maximum victory. That is his concern. Fewer people will be killed and more peace established. So with everybody else. What is the mind that is used? What is the mind in which the revelation is expected? In what condition is it fixed day by day? That must be seen. From there you must build a bridge towards the Infinite. So Ishta Devata will change. Ishta Devata means, each person has got the right to choose from where he stands, the method to lead him to the top, the highest. That will not necessarily be the same, the final reaching point, the starting point each day will be different. So, the relativity of perception is there.
