This is not the right understanding of Advaita, and therefore misleading.
*Just to make the meaning of soul (in Sanskrit jivatma, or small individual soul or eternal self) more clear - each living being is eternally an individual spiritual spark or living self,
Christian mystics and saints throughout the ages, along with Hindu Advaitist sages, have found the "eternal" Jiva to be false. Before one can stand in the uncreated light of God the individual self,or false Jiva, must be obliterated. IOW, no person sees because *there is no person to see. "Your glory lies where you cease to exist".
As in the Ladder of Divine Graces, (author unknown) which appears in the Greek Philokalia, experience alone teaches advancement on the Divine Ladder of Ten Steps, not talk. If you think yourself securely on the ladder, as the unknown author says: "ask yourself on which step you stand, so that we, the indolent, may benefit".
Guru means from darkness to light. The only true guru is God.
