Thank you.
The Seerah of Ahlulbayt to be understood - their authority must be taken in that perspective. It's not useful either, since, the analysis of their Seerah highly depends on whether or not they striving for establishing their authority and reminding of people's duty towards them through Quran and Sunnah.
All this is not useful in dialogue. It might be emotionally inclining to see beauty of words of ahlulbayt in form of saheefa Sajadiya for example and Sahifa Sajjadiya over all is all of words that Devils and liars and forgers cannot reproduce "and it doesn't beseem them for they are from the hearing far removed".
The words of Ahlulbayt and their lives, are like the Quran, not capable for normal humans to produce, but Quran is a greater miracle and it's most clear than any book, and it's words are calculate to open infinite doors and it's contextualization is perfect and there is no ambiguity in it or darkness except that we create in our own minds from our own injustice and blindness and there is nothing it doesn't clarify and show when sought on good terms and sincere knowledge and wisdom sought from it sincerely.
In the time of Ahlulbayt being present among the people, the greater weight was them, as explained by the Prophet (s), "indeed Ali is the greater weight for he teaches you the Quran and interprets it".
But now in Ghayba, the hadiths are not greater weight then Ahlulbayt (a) nor is the Mahdi (a) a greater weight to the public, he is only a greater weight to the believers guided by his hands.
So for the public, the greatest weight is Quran now.
At a point where focus and help of Ahlulbayt was dire, Shiites over emphasized on Quran and from Quran on spears from Mauwiya to other deceptions, they failed the Ahlulbayt and didn't gain insights to Quran from them.
Now that Ahlulbayt not among us, we over emphasize on who is not with us anymore, and who watch us cling to idols and attribute God all kind of non-sense in the name of hadiths attributed to Ahlulbayt when really our scholars don't show all hadiths and only pick what suits their nafs.
The dialogue has to change. If Taqlid or how to approach studying religion and guidance is not in Quran, then Quran is a false book, and if Sunnah doesn't explain this in detail and emphasize on the true interpretation in this regard, then what we have left of the Sunnah is useless.
Truth is neither did Prophet leave this unclear, nor Quran not show the way clearly, nor did Ahlulbayt not reinforce the truth in this regard.
Where are we going and to what end? The warnings of the destroyed cities and generations go out of our hears, as if the promised Messenger and final test is not clear in Quran, as if the Mahdi not emphasized in the Sunnah, as if Ahlulbayt emphasized on everything but how the Quran alludes to the Mahdi.
We are heading to destruction and the world cities will be destroyed at this rate, little believers will make it, and we will as a race have failed and the warnings of Quran to no avail.
While there is still time, we have to defeat the sorcery.
Context and putting verses back in their place, using the Sunnah in light of Quran and seeing Quran in light of Sunnah, letting Ahlulbayt messages clarify and remind us through Quran every insight we need, is of priority.
42:23 is a clear sign and proof, and is reinforced through out Quran, so there is no doubt, we Muslims chosen to rely on our desires and held on to dark sorcery in our hearts and the evil idol, and are a cursed people hell bound in the next world and will face destruction when the Mahdi returns if we keep on this track.
Seerah of Ahlulbayt (a), beauty of their words, all this helps a bit, but the truth won't win, till we put all verses in context of their place and let Quran be recited as it ought to be recited.
