Shankara preached to uplift the atheists

Shankara used the misunderstood concept for a good purpose of converting atheist into theist. He advised the atheist to learn the spiritual knowledge of God, by which the illusion that he is not God gets removed and that he will become God. The atheist was attracted to this and started learning the spiritual knowledge. Otherwise, the atheist will not try to learn even the alphabets of spiritual knowledge. Then, Shankara advised that the strong illusion will be destroyed by the worship of the Lord, who is also a realized soul. The atheist followed the course of devotion also with the same original ambition to become God.

By this time, the atheist has completed the two courses of knowledge and devotion. He has tasted God sufficiently and now cannot leave God even if the truth is revealed that he is only the permanent servant of God. Therefore, to achieve some good result, even a twisted concept can be used. When the result is achieved, the twist in the concept can be removed, which will help in further progress.

The the value by which an action is judged is by the means used to achieve the goal.

The preaching should suit to the psychology of the student. A scholar will never bother about the psychology of the student and just will reveal the truth. He will ask you to go to hell if you are not accepting the truth. He is not bothered to uplift you. He is only interested in the correct interpretation of the scripture given by the divine Father. He is only a co-soul and acts like a brother-guide who will not alter the truth respecting the scripture of the divine Father because he has no guts to change the scripture of the Father. Such a guide is called as Guru.

But sometimes the Satguru comes down who is totally different from a Guru. A Satguru is the divine Father or God Himself and has the guts to twist the scripture, if required, because He is the very author of the scripture. The divine Father will not bother about the scripture and its true interpretation and He is always bothered about the way to uplift the souls in such an existing atmosphere.

Shankara was the human incarnation of God (Shiva) and twisted the scripture to suit to the ego and the ambition of the people existing at that time. Shankara is the full Satguru and His attitude as a Father and capability to twist the scripture as God is totally justified to uplift the people in such atmosphere.

The atheists were transformed into devotees later on after entering the spiritual line. The Advaita, which states that a soul is already God is a chocolate prepared by Shankara for attracting the atheists (in accordance to their ambition and ego), who were the LKG students. In course of time the same LKG students entered college and university after getting the spiritual maturity. Now the real interpretation of the scripture is required and liberated souls were sent by God to give such real interpretation.

Ramanuja and Madhva were the incarnations of devoted liberated souls viz., Adishesha and Vayu respectively. The soul has no guts to twist the scripture because the scripture is the word of the divine Father. Hence, their attitude is always to project the real interpretation of the scripture. In their surrounding atmospheres, the chocolate was not needed due to the developed maturity in the spiritual aspirants. The real interpretation of the scripture was the need of that hour.

This does not mean that I have respected Shankara as God and insulted Ramanuja and Madhva as liberated souls. When God comes down as human incarnation, God charges the liberated soul in a human body and comes down. Even in the body of Shankara, the liberated soul exists called as Son of God. The liberated souls in Ramanuja and Madhva have come down with the program of God. The difference between Shankara and the other two is that God is directly speaking in Shankara whereas in the other two the cassette of the speech of God is being played on. Essentially all the three can be treated as God only. Narada says that the top most devoted soul can be treated as God (Tanmayahite- Bhaktisutra).
