>lol his appearance so funneh XD!!!1

So this is the power of hylics counterarguments..

Reposting from another thread, the best way to understand Advaita is to read through Shankara's works. It's strongly recommended to read at least one and preferably two intro books to Vedanta and/or Indian philosophy before doing this.

Good intro books:
The Advaita Tradition in Indian Philosophy by Sharma
Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta by Guenon
Vedanta Heart of Hinduism

The Advaita Tradition is one of my favorites, the author covers Madhyamaka and Vijnanavada Buddhism along with Advaita Vedanta and Kashmir Shaivism. The author takes the unconventional position that the Upanishads, Buddha, Nagarjuna, early Vijnanavada and Shankara were more or less pointing at the same truth in different ways, he has good and bad things to say about tantra. He has some very lucid writing on Shankara's ideas which explain them with great clarity. The only downside is the Advaita section is maybe only a 1/3 of the book, but within that is a very good review of his ideas (and you could just read this without reading the whole book)

https://archive.org/details/TheAdvaitaTraditionInIndianPhilosophyChandradharSharma

Man and His Becoming is a good intro to and review of some of the key concepts that reappear again and again in Shankara's works, although some of it is a little obtuse/dense with lots of footnotes. It's recommended but not needed to read Guenon's 'Intro to Hindu Doctrines' first before this. Coomaraswamy called it the best book on the Vedanta in any European language. If you haven't read Guenon's first book it's best to wait to read this until after you've already read a book on Vedanta.

https://archive.org/stream/reneguenon/1925%20-%20Man%20and%20His%20Becoming%20according%20to%20the%20Ved%C3%A2nta#mode/2up

Vedanta Heart of Hinduism is another good primer that focuses mostly on Shankara, with additional chapters on Ramanuja et al, and later 18th-19th century figures on Ramana Maharshi, Vivekananda etc. Like 'The Advaita Tradition' this book is consists of the author's explanations of their ideas and not long passages of Shankara's etc works. It's translated from German, but still good.

Here are Shankara's works. It's best to begin with the 8-volume Upanishad commentaries. The more of his Upanishad commentaries that you read first the more you'll understand his commentaries on the two smriti texts the Brahma Sutras and the Bhagavad-Gita. The Chandogya and Brihadaranyaka commentaries are dense and best read after his shorter Upanishads ones. The Chandogya is also central to the ideas of the Brahma Sutras, it's not necessary but nevertheless a good idea to read Shankara's Chandogya bhasya before his Brahma Sutra Bhasya. The secondary works can be read alongside his commentaries, but are best understood/appreciated after you've already read some of his Upanishad commentaries

>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

“René Guénon (pbuh) defies classification. . . . Were he anything less than a consummate master of lucid argument and forceful expression, his work would certainly be unknown to all but a small, private circle of admirers.”
—Gai Eaton, author of The Richest Vein

“Guénon (pbuh) established the language of sacred metaphysics with a rigor, a breadth, and an intrinsic certainty such that he compels recognition as a standard of comparison for the twentieth century.”
—Jean Borella, author of Guénonian Esoterism and Christian Mystery

“To a materialistic society enthralled with the phenomenal universe exclusively, Guénon (pbuh), taking the Vedanta as point of departure, revealed a metaphysical and cosmological teaching both macrocosmic and microcosmic about the hierarchized degrees of being or states of existence, starting with the Absolute . . . and terminating with our sphere of gross manifestation.”
—Whitall N. Perry, editor of A Treasury of Traditional Wisdom

“René Guénon (pbuh) was the chief influence in the formation of my own intellectual outlook (quite apart from the question of Orthodox Christianity). . . . It was René Guénon (pbuh) who taught me to seek and love the truth above all else, and to be unsatisfied with anything else.”
—Fr. Seraphim Rose, author of The Soul After Death

“His mixture of arcane learning, metaphysics, and scathing cultural commentary is a continent in itself, untouched by the polluted tides of modernity. . . . Guénon’s (pbuh) work will not save the world—it is too late for that—but it leaves no reader unchanged.”
—Jocelyn Godwin, author of Mystery Religions in the Ancient World

“René Guénon (pbuh) is one of the few writers of our time whose work is really of importance. . . . He stands for the primacy of pure metaphysics over all other forms of knowledge, and presents himself as the exponent of a major tradition of thought, predominantly Eastern, but shared in the Middle Ages by the . . . West.”

Spamming introduces his ideas to newcomers. In the modern age, humour is the only way to introduce these ideas to young people. Would you prefer we went around like the fucking dry arse Nazis talking about wheat fields? Humour is the language of 2020. Same way Romans wrote in Latin, we use the language of autistic shitposts.

Proselytism was spoken of by Guenon (pbuh) in the context of religion, not in the context of a Japanese carpet weaving forum. We aren't converting anyone. We are trying to get em to read a few fucking books

What harm is joking doing really? Anyone intelligent enough to join an order won't be put off by it, and many people who are intelligent enough will be drawn in by joking. It's ironic. All humour has its basis in the potential for profound seriousness, and this case is an example of that.
Guenon (pbuh) is dead so his picture being posted doesn't make a difference. Will people be able to identify his corpse more easily? Is that what you are worried about?

People's outlook on the world is changing because of these posts. I have found Guenons (pbuh) work because of these posts. Would it be better if he stayed obscure and nobody knew about him? Would it be better if myself and the rest of the neets all stayed jacking off to CEI catboy cuck porn instead of contemplating and learning about Metaphysics?

take this thread as an example: there are 16 posters in this thread, and 46 posts.

Wrong. Counter-traditional. You have not understood Guénon at all. You are young and misled, I suppose your interest in Guénon, even if seemingly parodic in nature, indicates a geniune interest in metaphysics. If it is so, then you must approach his works with more dilligence.

>Du reste, nous ne voulons en ce moment que faire pressentir, assez lointainement, quelques-unes des difficultés qu’il y aurait à surmonter pour arriver à un commencement d’organisation, à une constitution même embryonnaire de l’élite; il serait par trop prématuré d’essayer dès maintenant de définir les moyens de cette constitution, moyens qui, s’il y a lieu de les envisager un jour, dépendront forcément des circonstances dans une large mesure, comme tout ce qui est proprement une affaire d’adaptation. La seule chose qui soit réalisable jusqu’à nouvel ordre, c’est de donner en quelque sorte la conscience d’eux-mêmes aux éléments possibles de la future élite, et cela ne peut se faire qu’en exposant certaines conceptions qui, lorsqu’elles atteindront ceux qui sont capables de comprendre, leur montreront l’existence de ce qu’ils ignoraient, et leur feront en même temps entrevoir la possibilité d’aller plus loin. Tout ce qui se rapporte à l’ordre métaphysique est, en soi, susceptible d’ouvrir, à
87qui le conçoit vraiment, des horizons illimités; ce n’est pas là une hyperbole ni une façon de parler, mais il faut l’entendre tout à fait littéralement, comme une conséquence immédiate de l’universalité même des principes. Ceux à qui l’on parle simplement d’études métaphysiques, et de choses qui se tiennent exclusivement dans le domaine de la pure intellectualité, ne peuvent guère se douter, au premier abord, de tout ce que cela implique; qu’on ne s’y trompe pas: il s’agit là des choses les plus formidables qui soient, et auprès desquelles tout le reste n’est qu’un jeu d’enfants. C’est pourquoi, d’ailleurs, ceux qui veulent aborder ce domaine sans posséder les qualifications requises pour parvenir au moins aux premiers degrés de la compréhension vraie, se retirent spontanément dès qu’ils se trouvent mis en demeure d’entreprendre un travail sérieux et effectif; les véritables mystères se défendent d’eux-mêmes contre toute curiosité profane

C’est là une erreur complète, et ceux qui se font de telles idées prouvent par là qu’ils ne comprennent ni le sens ni la portée de la question; ce que nous venons de dire en dernier lieu doit déjà en faire apercevoir les raisons. Pas plus que la métaphysique vraie ne peut s’enfermer dans les formules d’un système ou d’une théorie particulière, l’élite intellectuelle ne saurait s’accommoder des formes d’une «société» constituée avec des statuts, des règlements, des réunions, et toutes les autres manifestations extérieures que ce mot implique nécessairement; il s’agit de bien autre chose que de semblables contingences. Qu’on ne dise pas que, pour commencer, pour former en quelque sorte un premier noyau, il pourrait y avoir lieu d’envisager une organisation de ce genre; ce serait là un fort mauvais point de départ, et qui ne pourrait guère conduire qu’à un échec. En effet, non seulement cette forme de «société» est inutile en pareil cas, mais elle serait extrêmement dangereuse, en raison des déviations qui ne manqueraient pas de se produire: si rigoureuse que soit la sélection, il serait bien difficile d’empêcher, surtout au début et dans un milieu si peu préparé, qu’il ne s’y introduise quelques unités dont l’incompréhension suffirait pour tout compromettre; et il est à prévoir que de tels groupements risqueraient fort de se laisser séduire par la perspective d’une action sociale immédiate, peut-être même politique au sens le plus étroit de ce mot, ce qui serait bien la plus fâcheuse de toutes les éventualités, et la plus contraire au but proposé. On n’a que trop d’exemples de semblables déviations: combien d’associations, qui auraient pu remplir un rôle très élevé (sinon purement intellectuel, du moins confinant à l’intellectualité) si elles avaient suivi la ligne qui leur avait été tracée à l’origine, n’ont guère tardé à dégénérer ainsi, jusqu’à agir à l’opposé de la direction première dont elles continuent pourtant à porter les marques, fort visibles encore pour qui sait les comprendre!

This part is especially important. There many more passages on proselytism in his introductory works, and others as well.

That was meant to show that you can either have a load of fake followers or a small number of real followers. I forgot you are autistic and take numbers very seriously so I should have made that clearer.
You come off as a massive cunt posting the passages in French too. I've read em all in English but some people haven't, as long as you look smart and that's all that counts isn't it?
You can't stop the brothers. In these times it is necessary to introduce these ideas to all who may have a chance of understanding them. The filtering process will occur regardless of what happens. People are being led in all directions today and in most western nations there are no traditional orders remaining. The only hope for westerners is to read this stuff and find their own way out. And we will help them do that.

Or we can be massive faggots like you and abandon all the neets to the wolves. This site is like a bookshop and we are simply putting Guenons books on the front shelf

>"Those who might be tempted to give way to despair should realize that nothing accomplished in this order can ever be lost, that confusion, error and darkness can win the day only apparently and in a purely ephemeral way, that all partial and transitory disequilibrium must perforce contribute towards the greater equilibrium of the whole, and that nothing can ultimately prevail against the power of truth."

your "real" followers are larps, and you are a larp. These/you are not devout followers, and all your language about drangon dildos and boipussies only proves that. You do not take any of it seriously, so why should anyone take you seriously?

that's not me. unlike you guenonfag(s), we're not all the same person, though it makes sense you would assume that, given samefagging is all you know.
