How flexible is our conception of God/Goddess?

Regard­ing the lee­las (pas­times), it all depends on wether you view them as the absolute lit­eral truth of the one and only way the spir­i­tual world can be described, or is it rel­a­tive to the Indian con­text in which they were cre­ated. If RKs lee­las are infi­nite and they can assume infi­nite forms, what is to keep them from enact­ing ever-fresh lee­las for the West­ern world of the 21st cen­tury? Don’t they respond in which ever way a devo­tee approaches them? I seek to make them not an Indian God/Goddess but the Uni­ver­sal Divine Couple.
