Hence, in these monographs on Advaita there is a predominance of analytical and suggestive enquiry into the way things really are as compared to the way things merely seem to be.<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI0033-002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1919\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI0033-002.jpg\" alt=\"the real goal\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI0033-002.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI0033-002-150x113.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSCI0033-002-501x376.jpg 501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE REAL AND THE SEEMING \u00a0 \u00a0 The \u201cgoal\u201d, if it can be called a \u201cgoal\u201d, of striving to understand nonduality is to adjust and correct the malfunctioning of the discriminative processes of the mind in order to transcend the errant dualistic perceptions and stabilize in nondual and holistic apperception. \u00a0This will require a sustained &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/the-real-and-the-seeming\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The real and the seeming<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1926,"parent":0,"menu_order":54,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1925","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1925"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1927,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1925\/revisions\/1927"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
