According to Advaita, who attains Moksha?
This is an inconsistency because - for the above to hold true - someone has to be able to tell oneself "I have attained Moksha". Such a statement of recognition can only be made in a post-moksha state. That is, the individual has to persist as an individual *after* Moksha for this to hold true.
This is not a problem with other forms of Vedanta. However, this becomes a question of interest in the case of Advaita as there is no dispute that all Advaitins accept that there is only the undivided Brahman after Moksha. So, who attains Moksha?
