[Advaita-l] Is empathy a function of ahamkara?

I think your response is from the nyAya viewpoint since you keep on
bringingup samavAyi and asamavAyi kASraNa. Advaita Sidhanta does not
conform to the nyAya view in this regard. It accepts the mImAmsa (bhAtta)
view. My responses are from that viewpoint.
