O great soul (mahātman), duality (dvaita), being a construct of the mind, is not possible within the Self (ātman). Similarly, even the concept of oneness (aikya) is not applicable to the Self (ātman) which has transcended the dual. Non-duality (advaita) is that which is devoid of the concept of oneness, eternally manifest, and truly existent. Therefore, they say that this true nature (svarūpam) is everything and yet nothing at all.
