It's funny cause even though there is no goal, when you take the perspective that there is a goal, there are actually a few different things that could be referred to as the goal.
- For example, dissolution of the ego. When you're no longer looking through the filter of the ego, you are realized and in Nirvana.
- Or, with a totally nondualistic perspective, you are realized and in Nirvana.
- Or, if your sense of self lies completely in the stillness of the self, you are realized and in Nirvana.
When I say that I "stay in duality", I am actually referring to taking a conscious back-step in all 3 of these things, and probably more.

It's probably a little more involved than that because there are two aspects involved which are self realisation, which I think you are describing; and purification, healing, alignment, integration, or whatever you want to call it.
