In the Advaita Vedanta which Robin practiced it is the ego that is the
delusion, but this delusion was not caused by God, but by Maya through
prakriti and the gunas born of nature. When the ego is subsumed there is
a lifting of the veil, an awakening from the dream of illusion. This
follows the typology of the seven states of consciousness purported by
MMY. So, it may have been difficult at times for Robin to adopt the
theistic view after having immersed himself in non-theistic non-dualism.
According to Robin, at the time of his enlightenment he experienced all
these boundaries of perception dissolving.
