Acharya Prashant explains that the path of non-duality (Advaita) and the path of duality (Dvaita) are not contradictory but deeply interconnected. He clarifies that the formless (Nirguna) cannot be reached without engaging with the manifest form (Saguna). Since humans exist in a world of forms and attributes, any spiritual practice must begin with the manifest. He emphasizes that the path to the formless truth requires cutting through the false, which itself is part of the manifest world. Therefore, the manifest serves as the necessary gateway to the unmanifest truth.
