Considering the orthodox or traditional Advaitic path as path of truth is great mistake




This non-dualistic  orthodox scholars or pundits like Dualist sages could not distinguish between ‘I’ and ‘formless witness.’ The 'I' was the witness. Their highest was the Jiva. One is so much attached to the 'I' that he do not want to think that 'I' does not exist. Again one is unable to detach the ‘I’ from the Real witness. 


Scholastic arguments and orthodox attitude is out-dated and not fit for the modern mind-sets who are capable of thinking using their own reason.  It is no use of arguing with people who live in self-imposed orthodox prison and who impose their false inherited baggage to the next generation.   It is high time for the orthodox cult to wake up and indulge in self-search their  inherited belief to realize the non-dualistic truth expounded by the great sage scientists, Sri, Sankara and Goudpada.
It becomes difficult for the orthodox cult to accept anything else as truth other than their accepted belief, which they hold as truth. Although all religious followers are participants alike in the spiritual endeavor of the world, overzealous   followers of each religion are not prepared to accord equal status to other faiths and assert the superiority of their own. Thus universal brother hood is total impossibility because it is difficult to accept anything other than their inherited belief system.        
Most of the pundits are egoic and they try to snub others who question them.  They think they are unquestionable authority.  They quote the citation from the scriptures as proof without verifying the validity.  All punditry is a great obstacle in realizing the Advaitic truth expounded by the Sri, Sankara and Goudapada.
The foreign disciple come to India to study scriptures and write great books to feed the seeking crowd but all this bookish knowledge of ornamental words can satisfy only the emotions and feelings of an individual. The truth is beyond emotions and feelings because the formless self is not an individual.
The religious path is emotional path and it is for those who has the conviction that the practical life within the practical world as reality.  Considering the orthodox or  traditional Advaitic  path as path of truth is great mistake.  There is no need to condemn the traditional paths but seekers of truth have to realize the fact that, they are not the means for Self-Realization. Thus it is necessary to realize the fact that, traditional path which are based on the scriptural authority cannot transport the seeker to their non-dual destination as declared by the Upanishads.
