The Tat Tvam Asi debate

Thank you for pointing it out. But I dont think many people who say this
actually do this themselves. Certain people have a tendency to give a
rakshasa status to the acharyas of other traditions.(I hope you got what I
am trying to say.)

And there is nothing wrong or disrespectful in calling some one as a sophist
or a pseudo-logician.(or disguised logician to be more clear).

Best Regards
Kalyan
