Nonduality is the English equivalent of the Sanskrit term, Advaita. Dvaita is a Sanskrit word that means duality, dualism, and dual. "A" is a prefix that makes it negative. So Advaita means not-dual or nondual. The philosophy becomes nondualism and when we speak of it as a subject it is nonduality.

For me, it basically means the appearance of two or even a multitude of separate things are not really separate at all. There is no "other." The appearance of separateness (otherness) is an illusion caused by ignorance.

It is not this, nor that, nor both, nor neither...that is nonduality.
