Two common faults--"egoity and the non-recognition of the
Real Nature"
What is the "Real Nature"??

I can't follow this at all, sorry. Are we in Melville's
position? Subjective reality of the mind and objective
reality of nature and never the two shall come together? 

Also, what is meant by traditional religions, conventional
religions, and even if we are to accept that these are the
five or six largest prevailing religions, is it true that
ignorance is best is these traditions? I think, this not
easy to say, with such simple statements. Knowledge may not
be attainable or realizable for many reasons and may not be
simply taboo.
