Sage Goudpada: ~ To establish the truth of Non-duality by sheer reasoning alone. He begins by defining "What is real?" "What is unreal?" etc, because that is the right way. (Manduka Karika)
People are being conditioned by the religious myth, which has made you a non-thinker. Come out of the religious myth by realizing God in truth.
All teachings of these thinkers and Gurus of nonduality are based on the false self (ego), so there is an error in their teachings.
Sage Sankara says once the error is removed, the Brahman (God) will reveal itself of its own accord.
Only through Self-knowledge is nonduality realized. Self-knowledge will not arise from the exchange of views and opinions, and arguments. The accumulated knowledge is not a yardstick to realize the truth beyond form, time, and space.
Existence is nondual. Nonduality cannot be described by means of words, for all uses of language fail to express it. Nonduality is sought to be indicated by mental negation of duality (the illusory universe).
Within the dualistic illusion or Maya, many people express nonduality, from a dualistic perspective, for people who are incapable of grasping the non-dualistic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space.
There is no doubt that many masters have given a valuable contribution to seeking the world, but none of them have taken one to the ultimate end. Thus, the seeker has to verify on his own and remove all obstacles which is blocking his realization on his own.
There is no need to criticize any teacher or Guru and waste time; instead, the seeker has to utilize the same time to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana through deeper Self-search.
Truth means a certainty. If there is any uncertainty, it is not the truth. It does not deal with imagination.
People do not have a scientific attitude because they take things as presented to them. They have rather an emotional and sentimental attitude. The correct attitude is to verify all the facts, to see a problem in them, something to investigate and inquire into them.
Truth must be verifiable; unless it is verifiable, it is of no value. Those who lack the capacity to doubt are not fit for the pursuit of truth.
Analogical, inductive, and deductive reasoning are good only within the dualistic illusion; none are absolutely and universally infallible because they are based on the ego, which is the false Self within the false experience.

From the non-dualistic perspective, there is nothing that exists, nothing ever existed; nothing will ever exist other than consciousness. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar

Sage Sankara said: ~Liberation comes only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way.+

The Self is not you, but the Self is the invisible Soul, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. If the Self is the invisible...
