With non-duality making lots of students all around the world, there are lots of individuals that are looking to attain non-duality or oneness. However in order to attain non-duality it is very important for the person to experience duality and also have proper experience about conflicts.
If you are looking for enlightenment and non-duality or Advaita it cannot simply be obtained by separating it out and experiencing it. The act of looking for Advaita, or the act of seeking to understand non-duality is attaining non-duality itself. It is itself what your mind is seeking to have. However the mind only functions when it is separated, where it is hard wired to know, to know, to name and also to understand. This makes it very useful and also very powerful too.
However just because we latch ourselves with the definitions and do not look for the belief of what is in there, we fail to experience the non-duality or the oneness. As your individual identity is being described through your thinking, the only thing visible to you is separation. When you want to be free of stress, confusions and conflicts, this can be the right method.
This is not because you are not resistant enough to continue meditation, but it is a natural process that everyone goes through. Our existence enough is the resistance to this moment. So the challenge while doing meditation and when you find yourself in resistance, are you able to find a method in you, which can help you to surrender yourself completely to this moment itself.
However when you find out the reasons behind the thoughts and when it becomes clear to you, you do find out the real reasons behind the separation, the action of creating yourself to be someone against everything else. This something is what has to be protected, which needs to control everything so that it can survive.
You trying to achieve enlightenment is enlightenment itself, similarly you trying to become an individual of a non-dual nature is achieving non-duality itself. Enlightenment is something, which lets you know that you are not separate from the reality and you yourself are the reality.
Another great example for non-duality can be the breathing itself, breathing is something that we can control, like we can hold our breath, inhale faster and deeper and so on. However you don't stop breathing when you don't take control of it, it happens naturally. Similarly, we think that life has to be controlled and to attain non-duality; however the existence itself is non-dual. You must remember that life continues even when you are controlling it or not.
In case you are willing to approach this moment with all the spiritual knowledge that you have and also the judgements that come with that, also if you look for this moment as an individual trying to make something out of this moment, it shall be very difficult for you get to this moment. This will never help you to attain non-duality and oneness. However you can attain true peace when you are willing to give it all for the moment itself. Only then you get the experience of oneness and freedom which comes with it.
