This is the Via Negativa - what not to 'associate' with.

My 'message' is that there's a Positive aspect to (incarnate) Life's Journey that is often (generally?) overlooked by Advaita folks, which beyond merely helping to 'clear' 'mists' can lead to 'association' with wonderful 'sun' 'shine'.

Using cultural typologies: I would say its the difference between the 'Buddhist' 'way' (motivation?) to 'end' 'attachment' and 'suffering' and the 'Christian' 'way' (motivation?) to 'generate' and share[!] 'interpersonal love-engagement' and 'joy' in greater abundance.

Not that either way can't be miss-'followed', mind you!
