About Divinity

Into "Hindu" readings of late. The difference between this and "Buddhist" seems very blurd and seems to fade.
One glitch, a diffucilty that one feels when one enters the former is the personality inherently associated with the divinity.
What if one looks at the various gods as the various approaches to divinity itself ?
In reaching vishnu - krishna you take up an encompassing path - reject none, sarvam vishnumayam jagat. It does not really matter if u reach the feet of vishnu, the locale of vishnu, etc. etc.
In reaching auspicious (ness), siva, rudra you take up the path of denial, destruction or (going as it seems) beyond the imminent obvious conclusions about our selves and the surroundings.
It is sort of made obvious in the mother worship though. Sri chandi speaks about devi as eternal, but as if appears when there is a need an imbalance. The three charitas have mention about the taking form of the devi, and her disappearance after the task is done.
