Advaita Vedanta
“Advaita,” in philosophical terms, is non-dualism, often also seen as monism. The essence here is that Brahman is the ultimate reality and everything else is transient. Thus, all phenomena around us, as per Advaita Vedanta, is nothing but an illusion, or maya, of Brahman.
Early Advaita is mostly credited to Upanishadic philosophers and teachers like Yajñavalkya, Uddalaka, and Bādarāyaņa, the author of the Brahma Sūtra. Advaita is widely seen as idealist monism, proposed first in Upaniṣhads; over time, it was consolidated in the Brahma Sūtra by this tradition.
o quote a verse whose origin remains unknown:
“brahma satyam jagan mithya; jīvo brahmaiva na aparah”
Meaning: Brahman is alone True, and this world of plurality is an error; the individual self is not different from Brahman.
