To understand and assimilate non-duality is possible only when one is able to view and judge the truth on the ultimate standpoint. Any interpretation on the physical standpoint will always be contradictory.
To say nobody is ever born on the base of birth entity is erroneous, without understanding the fact that, the self is not physical but self is the spirit [Ataman]. Therefore, the spirit is the true self and on the standpoint of the spirit [Ataman] as self the birth, life and death is mere illusion.
Sri, Sankara said:-Ataman is Brahman—it means—Ataman is ultimate truth/reality.
Sri, Sankara said:- World is unreal Brahman alone is real—it also means – the birth, life and death which happens within the world also unreal—the Ataman alone is real all else is falsehood.
Sri, Sankara said:- everything is Brahman-- it means the whole physical existence that is man and his experience of the world is Brahman—everything is created out of single stuff that is spirit [Ataman] and there is no second thing other then the spirit[spirit].
By limiting the Atman to the physical entity, and viewing and judging the world as a person is the cause of the ignorance. Therefore, there is necessity to know the fact that, the self is not physical but it is the spirit [Ataman], in order to realize, there is no second thing exists other then the spirit, which birth –less, to realize nothing is ever born.
