Non-duality is something that the mind itself cannot get aware of it, as it can only be known through the state of being in it. Everything that we are looking to know cannot be known by naming it and or knowing it but it can only be understood.
Just by defining, explaining and judging and separating us from everything. You are not asked to not define things, just because it is going to happen anyway. But you must remember that Duality is a part of Non-Duality, both of them are the same.
Once you start meditating, you might also get the urge to eat something while meditating, if not this you will start feeling itches, if not this you shall move around a lot, if not this you might also get distracted from the thoughts of something else. At times you might also consider meditation as a failure as you did not get the same feel while meditating as you got yesterday and it might distract you from your meditation.
But it becomes important for you to realize that it is you that is doing the stress, you are the reason for the confusions and you are doing the conflict. As our mind is so active, it might look that separation and suffering are occurring and you will have to go through the sufferings in order to reach Non-Duality.
As stress and conflict can only exist when there are two different things fighting for existence. Also stress can only exist when individual believes in duality or Dvaita. Therefore, being precise, there has to be you and the moment of resistance for stress and conflict to exist.
You trying to achieve enlightenment is enlightenment itself, similarly you trying to become an individual of a non-dual nature is achieving non-duality itself. Enlightenment is something, which lets you know that you are not separate from the reality and you yourself are the reality.
The best suggestion for an individual shall be, seek for you. Watch lout how life goes on, get the present experience and look if you are able to find something that you can consider as yourself, which is not separation but a find out. This kind of search will ensure you become more of a being than a doing.
Moreover it might look that you are in control of your life and eventually find out that you cannot control your life. This simply tells us that non-duality cannot be obtained or known or named, it is already present in what we have and it can only be known when you experience it, as it is already happening you just need to believe it.
