[Advaita-l] Sringeri Days - About Umesh ji

[Ryan Armstrong]

Namste Dear Jaidhar

I must thank you for pointing this out.
I have been told that I see everything "vyatireka" and should "balance" the
view with some "anvayaa" in the approach.
It seems that this is what you are picking up on.
Rather than criticism, I shall view this are "helpful advice"
To qualify the statement with "solely" is certainly judgmental...

The intention was more to suggest a shift in focus...

Dhanyavada
