Philosophers have made philosophy very complicated with their excessive analysis.

Philosophy has to deal with the ultimate truth, not mere words, not this Guru's or that Guru's interpretation.

The philosophers and modern thinkers of the world cannot get over their tallest hurdle, not because they cannot see that they are part of the illusory universe but because they are so strongly attached to the reality of the illusory universe in which they exist that they modify or fit their theories to please this attachment. In short, they refuse to give up the illusory universe in which they exist.

Modern thinkers say the external world is a construction of the mind. But Sage Goudapada alone of all philosophers rises still higher and shows that a causal relation is never found between subject and object because subject and object are one in essence.

Some philosophers in the past dissented from this interpretation of Advaita, holding that the Incarnated Souls were separate from the Divine Essence and only finally merged with it after the cycles of birth. All these theoretical philosophies are based on the imagination based on the false self (ego or you) within the false experience (waking).

It is quite easy to do this even for those who have never understood the Upanishads but think they have.

Thus, the dualists and their disciples have written commentaries on scriptures: But all these are written to satisfy themselves, not to get the truth because all their interpretation is based on the dualistic perspective. The truth will reveal only when one is able to reason from a non-dualistic perspective.

Likewise, thinkers and poets of the Age of Devotion (Bhakti) of the 16th century believed in a God with attributes that became very tangible when incarnating as God and were attainable simply through love and devotion rather than scholastic and intellectual meditation.

The seeker of truth should not be carried away by any Guru's wisdom or by the attitude of authority that they adopt in their sermons. It has no value because it is dualistic. :~Santthosh Kumaar
