Let's assume there is a nondual ultimate realm. However, reality as it unfolds to us is unquestionably dual. Once you accept causality and maya as different from pure non dual reality you are admitting two not one.Advaita is then wrong. Real nonduality is more coherent in a purely materialistic universe where there is only oneness of matter. Once you introduce nonduality as a metaphysical concept you are establishing duality and then end up in endless conflict and contradiction between the ideal to be grasped, reached, attained and a miserable limited condition of suffering. But in fact a non "spiritual" approach where you accept reality as it is and don't project anything beyond life as it is, is the way out of conflict and perplexity. That is peace to me. I don't have to explain anything beyond life with all its contradictions and don't have to escape from it. The problem of all these new scientists is they are uneducated in philosophy. Science can only get as far. Philosophy helps you live wisely. Read the great western philosophers and come to your own synthesis. And Hindu/ Buddhist answers are mere escapism, rebellion against our inability to accept the misery and suffering of life as it is.
