Namaste Raghav ji.
If PSA position leads to anirmokṣa as asserted by Michael ji, no one since

Also, I wonder whether the interpretation by SSSS ji is his own imagined
interpretation, swa-kalpanA-prasUta, or did he receive it from his guru. I
mean how can he be sampradAya-vit if he has not received this knowledge
through sampradAya. Did he reject his guru? If not, then why is his guru
not credited for his imaginations?
After Sureshwaracharya (as per SSSS ji), suddenly SSSS ji got this
knowledge. How? Did he imagine it, did he receive it from his guru?
When he made a claim that none since Sureshwaracharya understood VedAnta,
he has to explain his source of knowledge as well. Was it a revelation from
God like some other persons who established some fanatic religions?
If so, then obviously discussion is not possible because there is a
closed-mind there religiously following the dictum of authority.
Regards.
