Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 Dr. Shah, I am disappointed with this article. Very few indeed achieve the state of true advaita in the real sense. As long as the humas live on the interdependency all these rules of dualism apply and we must do as LOrd Krishna syas to defend against the six enemies (aatataayis). It is this very pessimist form of dvaita that has made India crippled and with suffering against the inhumane attacks from the other fanatic groups. If we were to follow the true advaita, then it is also important to protect and preserve the ways of life that made Advaita philosophy available. Are we to wait untill all these loft ways of freedom, and thinkers, and ways and culture are totally made extinct by the terrorist or the fanatics? Why not follow what Krishna said? He himself went for diplomatic negotiations with Kauravas until all the very last day before the Mahabharata war. At the same time, he did not save his family when they turned arrogant and self-indulging. That's is why He - Lord Krisha is called Yogeshwar. Not because he sat around and did nothing. In my humble opinion, this very pessimist advaita has tremendous harm to India. If advaita was that passive, Sri Shankracharya did not need to travel all over India four times, establish the 4-Maths and advaita schools. He himself was a great Karmayogis, he defended against other groups in disguise to protect the true sanatan dharma. True Advaita is very active.
