As evidenced here and on a regular basis words are often used to cut people down.
Why the bible says the tongue is filled with poison like when the disciples wanted to be like Elijah to call fire down on all the unbelievers but Jesus was so against the concept that he told them they spoke by their father Satan, a tool of Satan used as fangs to inject its poison and judgement on others.

From Quora. I agree with this, Hinduism does not fit any framework of the Western mind.

Sadly much is lost by this, and the person does not even know what is lost. This often happens with some American Buddhists. Transacting the language requires effort and the religion itself is not easy to understand, and the available texts don’t help.
On the other hand Hinduism, in particular Advaita Vedanta, does not present the same difficulties. Many not only understand, but appreciate and celebrate that which does not fit and yet inspires them with its beauty and nuances of both Buddhism and Hinduism.
Of course it will have the same difficulties, the idea that the original language and concepts magically map identically to English is just your religious elitism.

Like claiming Hinduism is monistic?
Advaita Vedanta is monism. Of course it's not all of Hinduism. On the other end of the scale is Dvaita and Vashistadvaita somewhere between (qualified monism). Of course these are only three of many different faces of Hinduism.

When a Hindu woman who has been a Hindu all her life says it, several times, it is rejected. Let us see how far a white guy’s words carry with sexists.
