discovering the way on their own

An Eternal Now SG

Because RM is Advaita, and Advaita also teaches that reincarnation happens when there is ignorance and vasanas. Its similar to Buddhism, in Buddhism rebirth happens due to ignorance and karmic tendencies or afflictions.

But what we consider as 'ignorance' is different from them.

No, they are not the same.

Different routes, different target.

The Moksha of Advaita is simply absorption in pure consciousness identified as Self. This is still not liberation in Buddhism because all sense of self and Self (not only egoic self but the delusion of an ultimate Self) are completely seen through and released via insight into anatta. The notion that 'soul is part of Brahman' is one of those illusions being seen through.

I have personally experienced both the Hindu and Buddhist realization myself so I understand the difference through experience. Simpo and Thusness in this forum as well. As I quoted Thusness earlier: http://awakeningtoreality.blogspot.com/2007/03/thusnesss-six-stages-of-experience.html

I read this blog page few times over days. Still no where there yet.Are you the writer of that page?

So stage 1,as in 'I' being everything is only the first stage?And stage 7 is not the end as well? So where does it end and in which stage does one get free of Karma and achieve Nirvana?
