No need to worry about "from." But both versions have grammatical problems. Especially: "their" and "they" have no antecedent. Also "their conception of the world that they attempted to escape" is a puzzle because it's equivocal as to whether they're trying to escape the world or their conception. And, grammar aside, I wonder about the meaning of "more illusory." (Does "illusory" admit of degrees?) You might try something like this: Vaisnava acaryas had shown that because such homogenization is impossible the Mayavadis are illusioned not only about the world but also about the goal to which they hope to escape. --ys, js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
