You mention something called a dualistic path above, which necessitates the existence of a non-dualistic path, which is of course impossible, for who is on the path then? So, even an effortless nonmeditation, where the goal is self-arisen wisdom, is a practice distinct from daily activity, and hence, a dualistic path. What you have described above is a non-dual nonmeditation possibly *within a dualistic path*, requiring effort to distinquish between the nonmeditation used to bring about self-arisen wisdom, and all other activity. Only when we speak about our establishment in a non-dual state, and the path existing *within* the non-dual state, is any practice of meditation, or nonmeditation, or watching TV, or eating a meal, dancing or sleeping, experienced as a non-dual path, within the non- dual state; A path of endless knowledge, existing within itself.
