Question 41
At times your teachings appear to be in the Advaita tradition of non-duality and no-self. At other times, you seem very dualistic as when you write "Every leaf falling from every tree is falling in exactly the way that God planned." You also speak of the Creator and the Creation. Please clarify.

Question 43
In your latest book, you say that there is a fundamental choice available to us. Either we are fully present in the NOW (Heaven) or we are in the mind (Hell). Do 'we' have a choice, or is it destiny? Advaita says there is no choice because there is no 'you' present.

What are we to make of the myriad of teachers out there today who claim or imply that they are self-realized. Are there levels of realization? If not, are they short of the mark and deluded somehow? Can teachers of a lesser attainment (if there is such a thing) guide their students only so far, and then they would have to meet a more evolved teacher or Master to finish the journey? Surely not all of the Advaita teachers today are fully awakened.
