Actually, it won't It is a logical fallacy to apply modern/current social norms on historical events.

The upanishads were transmitted in verse not prose. All the ancient teachings were transmitted that way - having a specific meter, intonation, etc. Why? Song-format is easier to memorize than prose.

Ah, Manonasha - what he means is that the mind doesn’t control the individual as it becomes clear as being a process that occurs using reflected consciousness. Vasanas are mental impressions/patterns that arise periodically. There are some which are not considered detrimental - those may or may not be dissolved. For example, Sri Ramkrishna Paramhamsa retained his love for food. These are called “Lesha avidya “, some minimal patterns that allow for the system to function after realization. And there are differences of personality even after realization, otherwise realization would lead to creating automatons. Dissolving mental patterns doesn’t mean all patterns are dissolved. The fact that personality is retained to a certain degree means some mental patterns remain. Not everything needs to be given up. For example, if someone has a penchant for tidiness, there is nothing inherently negative about it, so why would it need to be dissolved?

It’s a good idea to have empirical evidence to back our theories. Otherwise one can spend a lifetime chasing after chimeras. Jivanmukti happens after nondual realization, once the major vasanas are dissolved. It depends on the degree of purification of the mind (through proper preparatory work - krtopasati). The other alternative is videhamukti (which happens after the body is dropped). They are both predicated on Nondual realization.

You’ve not had either, right? If so, it’s mainly your imagination that’s driving your beliefs.

Made myself a delicious coconut chutney and potato sandwich.

The milk solids are delicious to eat with some rice and salt and pepper (or sugar).

Masoor is my favorite dal. I make it with a light tadka of nigella seeds, turmeric, mustard seeds and red chilli peppers.

If you’re asking if one could use Toor lentils, then yes, though moong lentils are considered the most easily digestible. Remember not to use sprouted moong (aka mung) beans but the yellow ones.
