Indeed, that is the problem. No-one can know what someone else has realised. And when it comes to all these Neo-Advaita teachers and followers, it is easy to grasp the concepts on an intellectual level and repeat the words. When I read
Iamit I get the sense that he is just repeating the words without the support of any underlying realisation. I may be doing him an injustice.
Oneness or
God - both are just labels for that which cannot be described. I try to avoid the word
God because it means different things to everyone. Even
Oneness is becoming overused. I prefer the term
The Self, but that again is just another label.
