Epistemology, in a Manner of Speaking

My use of the term, and the implied question, of epistemology is an accommodation to Westerners. It’s an attempt to speak their language.
Frankly, the question itself is circular reasoning. That is, the common Aristotelian evaluation of the answer to the question assumes Western values. Eastern Mystical epistemology is prepared to answer the question, but rejects the fundamental assumptions by which Aristotle and his kin arrive at their solutions. They define the answer outside of mystical terms in the first place.
Eastern Mysticism isn’t too concerned with whether things work out too well in this world. Sure, we can discern God’s moral laws and construct a frame of reference guaranteed to bring optimal life in this realm of existence. However, we assert the whole point is not the better life here, but what it says about things beyond this universe. Aristotle rejects any discussion of anything outside this universe, as it were.
Aristotle’s epistemology is just another silly logical game.
