Okay zoomer. Now try to read Ibn Arabi and you'll realize he's very far from Shankara and cannot be reconciled with Vedanta.

Now someone who is actually closer to Vedanta would be Eckhart, but Guenon never read him, just like he never read Ibn Arabi.

> God says, 'Let him not associate one with his Lord's worship'...what is understood from this verse is that He is not worshiped in respect of His Unity, since Unity contradicts the existence of the worshiper. It is as if He is saying, 'What is worshiped is only the 'Lord' in respect of His Lordship, since the Lord brought you into existence. So connect yourself to Him and make yourself lowly before Him, and do not associate Unity with Lordship in worship. Do not make yourself lowly before Unity as you make yourself lowly before Lordship. For Unity does not know you and will not accept you. Hence you would be worshiping Him who is not worshiped, desiring Him who cannot be desired, and practicing without object. That is the worship of the ignorant.' Hence God negates the worship of the worshipers from having a connection to Unity, since Unity is established strictly and only for Allah. As for everything other than Allah, it has no Unity whatsoever." - Ibn Arabi, Futuhat al-Makiyya (II 581.4)

There are hundreds of passages where Ibn Arabi goes against core tenets of Gueonianism and Advaita. Sorry, mate, but that's the truth.
