The nonduality is the nature of the Soul, the Self. In ignorance, there is duality. In wisdom, there is only one hence nonduality.
The Soul, the Self is one without the second. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness (spirit). It is the same consciousness (Soul) that manifests as the whole universe. Consciousness itself is the ultimate truth or Brahman.
Consciousness is the ultimate cause of the universe and it itself is uncaused. The seeker of truth must convince himself of this truth by Soulcentric reasoning.
Remember:~
A Gnani never claims himself as a Gnani, he guides the seekers, not posing himself as a Guru, and he does not force his wisdom on others.
Advaita is not a theory or a philosophy. Advaita is the nature of the Soul the Self. There is no need for any Guru to acquire Self-knowledge. Only a perfect understanding of ‘what is what’ is needed.
Why should the seeker depend upon the Guru, the actual realization happens without the Guru. The Guru becomes botheration.
Bhagavan Buddha: ~ Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
You need not become a Guru or a monk to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. You have not to renounce the world or leave anything ~ your wife, children, job, responsibilities. You do not have to renounce anything!
The only thing you have to realize is the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space by realizing the form, time and space are the product of ignorance.
When ignorance vanishes, the unreality of form, time, and space is exposed.
Upanishad says:~ "He who thinks he knows, does not know." This means that to know anything implies a second, an object of knowledge, hence duality, i.e. no Gnana.
Tripura Rahasya: ~ Second-hand knowledge of the Self-gathered from books or Gurus can never emancipate a man until its truth is rightly investigated and applied; only direct realization will do that. Realize yourself, turning the mind inward. (18: 89)

Remember:~
The Soul is the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness. The nature of the Soul is nondual awareness. The nondual awareness is real and eternal. The nature of the mind is dualistic awareness. The mind is present in the form of the universe. The universe appears as a waking or dream (duality) and disappears as deep sleep (non-duality). The duality is physical awareness and the nonduality is Soul-awareness.
From the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self, the physical awareness (duality or the universe) is merely an illusion. The illusion is created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. Thus, there is no difference between illusion and reality because both are one in essence. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
