My personal humble opinion!
What you ...Dear ramesam<br />My personal humble opinion!<br />What you suggest makes sense where there are select forum members who are advanced enough & open minded in understanding and are willing to discuss the opposing viewpoints with the sheer purpose of your suggested vasana removal.<br />Unfortunately, most of the current forums i have come across serve the other purpose you mentioned "...about gaining academic knowledge????". A novice advaitin gets caught in an "Egofest crossfire" where participants are presenting their fixed ideas, based on their (or their Guru's)understanding and using their own terminologies. Obviously drawing convenient boundaries around the discussions may make things worse - hence i wonder about the very purpose of these forums for a novice seeker of truth?<br />To me a Blog like "Beyond Advaita", on the other hand, seems like a better alternative where a seeker can reflect on a specific blog and then communicate with the blogger to sort out his/her understanding with added comments from some other experts.<br />VijayAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082178799750420663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211673002367960332.post-55667507249878227302014-11-23T21:52:14.644-08:002014-11-23T21:52:14.644-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082178799750420663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211673002367960332.post-30188729997547660892014-11-22T10:34:29.320-08:002014-11-22T10:34:29.320-08:00Thanks ramesam, for making those insightful distin...Thanks ramesam, for making those insightful distinctions clear. They make it so much easier to discern the conceptual from the Actual. As they say, it's like the difference between merely knowing what's on the menu, and the actual tasting.Peter Francis Dziubanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397721901055005612noreply@blogger.com
