How Can One Attain Oneness And Non-Duality?

By Armando Rod


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.

For an instance if you are willing to build something or create something or even start a start-up, it is the mind that acts as a very useful tool and helps you to accomplish it. You must never doubt the increased creativity of the mind when it is quiet, therefore when you are building something and you are successfully able to resist yourself from seeking a separate self. This will definitely help you create a more effective and beautiful creations, compared to the individuals that constantly talk about achieving the separate self, who would likely judge, doubt, criticise and also learn what it think is its own work.

But it becomes important for you to realize that it is you that is doing the stress, you are the reason for the confusions and you are doing the conflict. As our mind is so active, it might look that separation and suffering are occurring and you will have to go through the sufferings in order to reach Non-Duality.

As stress and conflict can only exist when there are two different things fighting for existence. Also stress can only exist when individual believes in duality or Dvaita. Therefore, being precise, there has to be you and the moment of resistance for stress and conflict to exist.

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.

After this you learn how to stay in the form of non-dual nature, this also allows you to learn how without having to contract you can exist as being you. This non-dual or oneness philosophy is something that allows you to learn intimacy in this moment.

Moreover it might look that you are in control of your life and eventually find out that you cannot control your life. This simply tells us that non-duality cannot be obtained or known or named, it is already present in what we have and it can only be known when you experience it, as it is already happening you just need to believe it.
