That's why there's a tradition developed over 3,000 years using the techniques of traditional Advaita that gradually brings a seeker to realization.
Both absolutist approaches are more likely than not to be appropriated by ego which is the exact opposite of what's desired.

Correct Neo Advaita is not a teaching, it either resonates or it doesnt depending on the character of the seeker. Its the same with the traditional approach so there is room for both once tradition stops fighting its turf war:)
