---Below: Rory says suffering has no objective reality. True, but
irrelevant in terms of the actions that may be required to offset the

invaders are attacking your neighbors, do something about it. We
don't say "those guys have no objective external reality, so why
bother?". The neo-Advaitins paint themselves into a corner of
contradictions. The fact that nothing has an "external" reality
shouldn't influence (IMO) one's natural tendancy to help others.; so
why even say "this and that has no external reality"? That's obvious!
When it comes to $$, the neo-Advaitin Gurus are quick to
acknowledge the objective, external reality of money.
Nicely said.
This is a common theme in neo-advaitin "realizers", the inability to
present a correct View (drsti) regarding the "two truths" (satyadvaya).
It's always a dead giveaway.
