Non-duality 1. Misunderstanding non-duality

Non-duality is a challenging topic, and it doesn’t help that some supposedly non-dual teachings are based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what non-duality means. This is exemplified in the saying: Only Brahman is real, the world is an illusion. This statement is dualistic and has led to enormous amounts of suffering and confusion for spiritual seekers. Yet there is no duality in reality, only in the mind of human beings.
