Hey Jen.

The call of the Absolute. I believe that according to Advaita,
the Absolute makes no calls. That is, there is only the One, without
a second, and therefore there is nobody for the Absolute to call.

To put it another way, from the "regard" of the Absolute, there is
only the Absolute. It doesn't "see" anything other than Its
undifferentiated Self.

Now, the Atman resides in that secret chamber of the heart, and
deep within, your heart may be calling, telling you that the Atman
lies there. So by all means hear the call and dive deep into your
own heart. There you will find yourself as the One, and realize
that you were never anything else to begin with.
