ZEN Satori is not the highest Advaitic or non-dualistic Gnana because it comes as flashes, it does not depend on seeing the world and does not depend upon mental sharpness so much as intuition. Zen Buddhists are only mystics--they do not offer proof. How is their main method different from that of Christian mystics, Hindu mystics, all of whom do not seek to prove by reason, but by "I know," intuition?

Zen is quite alright in mentioning non-duality: it is the nearest to true Advaita, but nevertheless, it is still inferior because it fails to prove non-duality, it illogically gives koan exercises as a means of attaining That which is beyond attainment, because always here, and it talks of insight or intuition to see Reality when sight involves a second thing, duality.

Zen gives a high important place to meditation practice. The truth is that Zen advocates the necessity of meditation for those of its adherents who cannot grasp the absolute truth.

ZEN is also on this lower stage of Yoga because it depends on flashes of Intuition gained by meditation, not by reasoning. :~Santthosh Kumaar
