Yes. "There is generally a lack of experiential understanding of the Real Self and its Power as deep silence, unconditional love etc.." "Otherwise there is a permanent occlusion, the Granthi Knot, permanently screening off the tremendous power of the Real Self, which is the Absolute Unborn Deathless Consciousness, God, Unconditional Love, Dynamic Silence, and Oneness. Instead the Neo-Advaitin pupil merely basks in his or her Reflected Consciousness, designated as 'all there is, is perfect, whatever manifests'." "To summarise, the main Neo Advaitin fallacy ignores the fact that there is an occlusion or veiling formed by the vasanas, samskaras, bodily sheaths and vrittis, and there is a Granthi Knot forming an identification between Self and mind which has to be severed. If this were not the case then the whole of humanity would be living from Absolute Consciousness. As it is humanity still lives from Reflected Consciousness, including the Neo Advaitin Teacher with his or her active vasanas, still identified with the mind." "Pupils gravitate to the teacher with this kind of agenda which confirms what he or she wants to believe, that no effort is needed. The result is that the Teacher, still living from the ordinary mind, with vasanas active, can never go back on the promise that he is 'awakened' and therefore forfeit the right to teach. That the vasanas have been accumulated and consolidated in previous 'life dreams' is not examined, and if raised, the teachings about 'samsara' , 'maya' , jiva, karma and re-birth are often considered too metaphysical to explain or grasp .They are invariably dismissed as old superstitions." ------------------------ Yahoo!
