Advaita is living every moment in joy, a quality of joyful evenness. One should not even enter into thoughts of liberation.
The great acharyas/gurus/saints discuss the representation of Brahman in its suguna or nirguna sense. Moreover have they debated on it and still continue to. Man adheres to their sayings and speaks and repeats it as sacred sayings.
But does anyone adhere to the moral codes, self restraints, the healthy discipline and attitudes the acharyas follow or might have followed?
One should be convinced that such acharyas strictly observe all aspects of yama-niyama.
Whatever be the philosophy they preached, they were intensified by deep devotion and daily worship to God. They certainly practiced the sastras too. They were convinced of the various asana practice needs and were devoted themselves to dhyana.
It is essentially true that all of them proclaimed a distinct science, a different philosophy. As the situation demanded, they might have even attempted to belittle another, inorder to uplift yet another.
Why suguna& nirguna for the followers alone?
Approach all this logically. The followers too need to believe in Brahman alone. One, who sees the Almighty Brahman in its smallest form in his body, can never miss to see one’s own smallness in this mighty Brahman.
