Most people don't ask what we mean when we talk about God, but go directly to God's identity: Who is God? But the Vedic scriptures also talk about what is God. For instance, the Srimad Bhagavatam presents God as jnanam advayam (nondual knowledge). What is that nondual knowledge and how does it differ from dual knowledge?

This short clip is taken from the Shabda Podcast #9 ("What is God", season 2, episode 9, September 2020) with Ashish Dalela.

Ask What is God before Who is God

The basic problem throughout Western philosophy and science has been the dual nature of ideas, which are both immanent and transcendent. And because the West could not deal with this problem, they created a world of duality in which two things are either identical or independent, but not related via immanence. This separation or identity is what constitutes Western logic, and it is a false idea because it is built upon the notion that the idea color is not immanent in the individual colors black and white. In a simple sense, the need for alternative mathematics arises from this dual nature of concepts as both immanent and transcendent, because it a creates a logical contradiction.

The deference to authority is misunderstood by most people who think that you just blindly surrender to some authority and dogmatically accept whatever they say and that becomes the truth. The right understanding is that this deference to authority is only for discovery not for verification.

So, there is a method of reason and experience for the individualistic seeker which tries to discover the answer themselves. And then there is a method of reason and experience which is applied for verification. So in Vedic philosophy all these three methods are recognized, but they have a place of their own.
