Shankara.
Again, CC isn't Enlightenment. MMY rarely used the E word as far as
I can tell; but if he did, his usage would be equated with the
highest Realization in his model, not the lower CC. The latter is
obviously dualistic. Help me out here somebody, I don't generally
get into is/isn't tennis.
He's welcome to do whatever he wants with his "model". Not everyone
agrees with him. Not everyone sees the world from the POV of Vedanta
and Badarayana.

Need a knock out punch for Vaj's subterfuge. He's obviously
building up to something so he can say MMY was "only" in CC.
I would never say that. I'd defer to the Shankaracharyas who comment
on his level of consciousness: "in darkness" and "mind like a
supermarket" (i.e. clearly not in CC yet...). Perhaps it would be
more helpful to think of him as a fallen yogi who did what he could,
while he could.
