Thereby proving the statement ... the ego is always blind to itself.
Dearest, the word "sharing" is a 'BK buzzword' that entered the BKs via NLP, Mike George and Sister Jayanti. It's just sweet talk for what's going on.
The only thing anyone asked you to share was if or how long you followed the Maryadas for. And you refused. All you appear to be doing is undermine our findings or position with pointless sophistry.

There's a good chance it has 'nothing has to do with anything' here either ... but at least you can dance to it.
I am not talking much about Brahmagupta, but about one's understanding/modelling/abstraction
Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta translates as the "Correctly Established Doctrine of Brahma". The BKs' position would be that it is wrong/worthless/irrelevant and that only the Sakar Murlis are the "Correctly Established Doctrine of Brahma (aka Lekhraj Kirpalani)".
You should probably try hanging with your local Theosophical or Vedantic Society because they are more into that abstract and historic stuff. The BKs aren't. You'd be fooling yourself if you thought they were.
So what are you trying to say? That our experience with the BKs, and historic and philosophical knowledge of then is invalid?
Sorry, it won't work.
As you've avoided giving a straight answer to my question time and time again, I'd say that, as someone who has never followed the Maryadas fully, you really don't get or understand the BKs. You are confusing them ... with your own idealism of what a mystic or esoteric society should be like.
My suggestion to you is, to go away for one year ... to follow the Maryadas fully (Amrit Vela, Morning Class, evening meditation) ... to spend all you free time working for them ... and to give all your wages to them (they will give you back enough pocket money to survive).
At the end of one year you will have a better insight to them.
Oh, and no masturbation either.
Good luck.
