Nonduality
Nonduality (aka Advaita or Nondualism) is the ultimate underlying reality of everyone and everything. The word Nondual means “not-two” indicating there is no other reality apart from the Nondual Reality. Every living being and non-living thing is none other than the Nondual Reality manifesting in different ways. This is the highest Truth you arrive at through a systematic process of self-enquiry by analyzing your own direct experience, which brings about the realization that you are not a limited body-mind complex but something beyond all limitations of time, space and objects — the Nondual Reality. This Self-realization liberates you from the sorrows and sufferings of life, as most of them are born out of a wrong identification with the body-mind complex and attachment to things associated with it. It does not mean that suddenly all problems of life are solved, rather the problems get dissolved and lose their grip leaving you in a state of supreme peace, joy and love.
Nonduality is the very core of spirituality and is firmly grounded in solid reasoning and direct experience of every being. It employs a well-structured and logically-consistent process to guide you from your mistaken self (what you think you are) to the actual Self (what you actually are) step-by-step, with each step being completely verifiable within your own experience. Even though the Reality itself is beyond thoughts and words, it can be pointed out in a way that can help realize the Nondual Reality as one’s own Self.
There is no need to believe anything without validation, making Nonduality highly favorable to a modern scientific mind. Spirituality generally gets ignored as something mysterious and absurd due to lack of clear understanding. But there is nothing strange about Nonduality. It just states plain and simple facts that are easily verifiable by anyone. Upon understanding it, one clearly sees how Nonduality makes a lot more sense and is true to experience than even science, especially when it comes to revealing the Ultimate Reality, which is the goal of both science and spirituality.
The Content
The content on this website is a humble attempt at sharing some of the insights that the vlogger’s mind has stumbled upon on its spiritual path, with the hope that they might help others too by serving as building blocks of Self-realization on the basis of Nonduality. The subtle truths of life, universe and everything have been revealed purely through logic, reasoning and our normal experience, without the need of any prior knowledge or context, and are shown to be inline with the realizations of enlightened masters and relevant scriptures as necessary. Since this mind has a background in computer science / software engineering / technology, some traces of that might be visible in the explanations, and any illustrations from those fields are purely incidental.
The vlogger is extremely grateful to God, the exalted scriptures and the revered teachers, as they have opened this mind up in ways unimaginable, especially through the dedicated study and practice of Advaita Vedanta — including the four Yogas of Knowledge (Jnana), Devotion (Bhakti), Meditation (Dhyana) and Service (Karma) — for close to a decade in holy association with premier institutions like the Vedanta Societies.
If anything meaningful comes out through this media, it is purely through divine grace. And if something doesn’t make sense, please know that to be the dullness and incapability of this mind to grasp and express the sublime facts clearly, and don’t let it stop you from diving deeper.
May all be blessed with the realization of the Ultimate Reality as quickly as possible!
