According to biblical Scripture, all things that are not God are made by God. Therefore, creaturely consciousness is only a created image of the the consciousness within the eternal Godhead. Put another way, our consciousness can only ever be analogous to God's consciousness, which is paradoxically described as three distinct centers (since God is tri-personal), yet singular and unified (since God is one being). God's internal consciousness can only be known to us analogically by examining our own created consciousness, and it can never be accessed or known immediately, nor can it be a direct object of our own consciousness (unlike our creaturely consciousness). There is no way for the nondualistic epistemology to refute the existence of such an entity. This renders the Advaitan's central assertion of the sole existence of Brahman/Atman as arbitrary.

The guenonfag aside, why do people here seem to have such an anti-advaita and anti-Shankara attitude. Is it because of tourist advaitins unable to understand their own philosophy?

I am reading his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, and it seems to me he is saying that the way of knowledge and renunciation of action is reserved for Brahmins, and that those of other castes ought to perform their duties even having attained wisdom.
Now for the people who are recommending this text here: What do you take out of this? You can neither say that you are a Brahmin (at least I assume most of you are not Indian), nor that you have duties assigned by the Vedas.
What path are you to follow?
