Chandogya Upanishad: ~ “Whoever sees the Self in all does not see death, disease, or diversity. Advaita means non-duality, that is, one without the second. To transcend the duality, which is merely an illusion created out of the Atman, the Self, which is ever nondual Self-knowledge, is necessary. The nature of the Atman, the Self, is Advaita or Nonduality. Nonduality is the nature of Atman, the Self. Atman, the Self, is the ultimate truth or Brahman or God in truth.For others, it is merely a philosophical debate. For those who have realized that Advaitic truth stands alone.Advaita or nonduality is the nature of Atman, the ultimate truth, or Brahman or God in truth.A person who has mastered discrimination between the invisible Soul and the universe will be able to realize the truth, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space.An intense yearning for liberation is liberation through constantly reflecting on the subject. Even after the study of the scriptures and mastering the scriptural knowledge will not be able to realize the truth, which is hidden by ignorance.Self-realization is not possible due to some obstructions, such as a lack of understanding and assimilation of the knowledge of the Soul.

Advaitic orthodoxy is meant for the ignorant masses that are unfit to grasp the highest truth. Thus, the Advaitic orthodoxy has nothing to do with the ultimate truth or Brahman.
