In this commentary, he referred to the concept of 'Advesha' or 'non-dualism'. This concept emphasizes the unity of the individual soul (atman) and the universal soul (Brahman). The time period for Adi Shankaracharya is generally accepted to be between 788 and 820 AD.

The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Hindu scripture, mentions the term 'Advesha Paramatma' or the 'non-dual Supreme Self'. The text describes how the individual soul can attain oneness with the Supreme Self, leading to liberation from the cycle of birth and death. This concept is closely related to the principle of non-dualism. The Bhagavad Gita is believed to have been composed between the 3rd century BCE and the 4th century CE.
