What Gaudapada wrote is correct from a non-dualist philosophical perspective
That's the topic, and therefore, I was correct with what I wrote.
The Absolute (Paramarthika) and the relative ( vyavaharika) both should be taken into account at the same time.
What a beautiful dualistic perspective. I agree, and that is precisely what I wrote.
they have transcended the attachment to duality, but they simulateneously acknowledge it.
You said both the absolute and the relative both should be taken into account simultaneously. That is acknlowledging the inherent dualism in reality. Ideally one would not be attached to either the absolute or the relative.
But this is almost never the case. The non-dual adherent ( literally: one who clings, is attached, bound ) continuously denies the inherent duality, while simultaneously affirming it with their judgements of their own superiority, or the superiority of their "
world-view", or the superiority of their religion, or the superiority of their scripture, or teachers. They affirm the inherent duality by judging others as inferior, ignorant, impure, among other things.
Truth is that the vast majority are slaves to the illusion and falsehood,
What a magnificent ego. It is enormous. Thank you for displaying it. Making this sort of claim about others and lifting oneself up as superior is a great example of these principles being applied to produce the opposite of a non-dual perception.
Claiming the majority are slaves is about as dual as one can get.
Comments like this are strongly attached, clinging, and favoring, the "relative reallity".
this is something that should be commented upon only by someone who is well-versed in advaita or nondual philosophy, and not by any tom, dick and harry who has a superficial knowledge of Hindu scriptures and start adapting it to all situations foolishly.
These are simple concepts. There is no reason to exclude anyone from making comments unless one is setting up a caste system of ivory tower elites. Then the elite have a reason to protect their self-bestowed superior status.
The status of the individual has no bearing on the truth value of the statement.
The Guru can even be a dog or cat who teaches one to live wisely. Dattatreya was a sage who saw each component of nature as a Guru to learn wisdom from.
You just contradicted yourself. First you say that common folk should not comment, then you say that dogs and cats are gurus of they have something to teach.
The status of the individual has no bearing on the truth value of the statement.
It seems that it was true what I wrote:
None are worthy of more reverence from the enlightened perspective.
None are worthy of
more reverence. A dog, a cat, a child, an unlearned beggar, the enlightened-sage,
the imposter pretending to be enlightened, hitler, whomever, and whatever. They all should be equally revered. They all have something to teach. Hitler is a brillaint negative role-model. I hope and pray the world never forgets it.
worship of Divinity or enlightened is prescribed in Hinduism
This encourages, promotes, and propagates the illusion that one is superior than another. Naturally the aspirant loves this because they immagiine themself being worshipped someday. It is an attachment to the "relative", and it acknowledges the the inherent duality of reality. Whomever is being worshipped cannot be Brahman, because the one who is worshipping is exccluding themself from it.
If this is a practice perscribed in Hinduism then it is denying that any are Brahman, because the one who is worshipping is excluded from the one they are worshipping. This renders Brahman incomplete. It is an unavoidable contradiction of principles.
Worship or reverence of any "thing" denies that the thing being worshipped is Brahman.
such reverence serves as a way to transcend the ego as well leading to enlightenment.
It appears to do the opposite. It is propogating an attachment to "relative" reality and a dualistic world-view where some are superior and the majority are ignorant slaves.
Please stop assuming I am critisizing you. Hasn't this gone on enough? In repeated threads, and even in private messaging, I have asked you to put down whatever narrative is playing in your mind. Repeatedly I've shown you this narrative is not happening. I even told you it would continue unless we resolved the problem and here it is repeating.
