I think that one must first understand the difference between tamsik and satvik meditation.

The problem i have with his view is that is leads to a denial of the body. It is all maya. This is the fallacy of advaita as it is a form of reduction to consiousness or the Self’. It leads to a logical contradiction in the sense that differentiation comes from undifferentiation. This is not logical as they imply eachother, and saying that it is above concepts is a cop out. A form of spiritual bypassing.

[@Marco-wq7nn]

It actually was a misinterpretation of the followers of Shankara who said that not Brahman, but maya was the cause of an apparent world and so came to the wrong conclusion that as maya is not real, the world is not real. Actually better it is to say that if Brahman is real as it is the ground of everything, then the world is real, only not in the way we think it is real.

The view doesn’t lead to denial of the body. This is only a pointer to help the seeker to transcend the body-mind in order to attain liberation. It’s kind of like dis-identification to transcend the illusionary ego. Once liberated it is seen clearly that all is Brahman, including the body-mind. Concepts are not truth. You are the truth.

[@Panictopresence]

No one is in denial of the body, instead it simply points out to the fact that we ain't the body. Cuz quite logically we ain't the summation of the organs aka body.
