[Pateeffelty]

I am thankful for your kind explanation but, it seems to me that natural truth never does play with two different sides. When we observe the sun, we see that it gives its rays equally to everyone, every sentinet being, without making any discrimination if they were enlightened or not. So I would expect the same from such a mind as Buddha.

you are welcome, Bothi

however, again, your expectation of Buddha does not conform with the reality of Buddha

as i advised, Buddha teaches from compassion & wisdom (rather than from the mind of non-discrimination you believe is nirvana)

one title of the Buddha is Lokavidu, meaning "knower of the [different] worlds"

i have tried to suggest many times on this forum that the mind of enlightenment is not the non-discrimitative samadhi of Advaita

the mind of a Buddha sees the characteristics of things, both mundane (worldly) and supramundane (lokuttara)

the mind of a Buddha sees with discriminative wisdom (dhamma vicaya) rather than non-discrimination

the mind of a Buddha sees & knows with full comprehension (abhiññāya)

the word 'Buddha' means 'intelligent one'; 'the one who knows'

the word 'Buddha' does not mean 'spaced out zombie'

with metta

Again, the Tathagata understands as it actually is the world with its many and different elements. That too is a Tathagata's power...

Again, the Tathagata understands as it actually is how beings have different inclinations. That too is a Tathagata's power...

Again, the Tathagata understands as it actually is the disposition of the faculties of other beings, other persons. That too is a Tathagata's power...
