Are there any works of fiction inspired by nondual philosophy? /lit/'s obsession with Rene Guenon and Shankara has finally convinced me to try it out... but I am not yet ready for philosophy or meditation

>> No.15006493

Guénonian (PBUH) fiction...seems as though it could be based. Brothers, recommend him something. I know of nothing outside of Guénon’s (PBUH) rich philosophical works.

>Guénon was a brainle-
He was proficient at Greek, Latin, English, Italian, German, Spanish, Sanskrit, Hebraic, Arabic and Chinese, was trained in mathematics and was extremely well-read in both eastern and western philosophy
>Guénon was a stupid posing larpe-
He was initiated into both a Vietnamese Taoist Triad as well as the al-'Arabiyya Shadhiliyya Sufi order, furthermore in all his writings he stressed the need for personal and genuine participation in whatever Traditions one aspired to follow. His acquaintances both Egyptian and western observed that he scrupulously followed Islamic observances during his life in Egypt
>Guénon was a literal nobody, he was not influenti-
Among the many western philosophers, artists and authors who were influenced by him or who heaped praise on him include Carl Schmitt, Georges Bataille, Aleksander Dugin, Antonin Artaud, Olavo de Carvalho, André Breton, Mircea Eliade, Alain Danielou, Julius Evola, André Malraux, Albert Gleizes, René Daumal, Raymond Queneau, Paul Ackerman, Huston Smith, William Chittick, Steve Bannon, Harry Oldmeadow, James Cutsinger and Hossein Nasr. Furthermore as Nasr notes in his article 'The Influence of Rene Guenon in the Islamic World', Guénon is well-known and influential among the intelligentsia including traditional Islamic scholars in certain Islamic countries such in Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and Malaysia.
>Guénon just made a bunch of stupid and unjustified comparisons between religio-
To the contrary over the course of some twenty odd books he painstakingly and patiently elucidated the fundamental agreement between the metaphysics of Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, Sufism, Hermeticism and Christian esoterism, work that Coomaraswamy built on and further confirmed

No he is absolutely clueless about Western philosophy. Every time he responds to some Western doctrine he always attacks a caricature, and never addresses possible responses to the objection. For example I am not sure if Guenon or Schuon makes that point, but he says that the problem with rationalism is that it assumes that what cannot be proved also cannot be true, which is a total strawman and has nothing to do with rationalism or any western philosopher. It's just that guenonfags don't read actual philosophy so they wouldn't know if Guenon caricatures his opponents or not.

If that's true then why did the 4th Mughal Emperor Jahangir in his memoirs describe many hours spent in conversation with the Brahmin ascetic Jadrup and write that Jadrup was learned in the science of the Vedānta, which Jahangir writes "is the science of Sufism"
