Advaita Vedanta

2024-09-17

Advilaita is part of Vedanta philosophy. Why do we say ultimate reality is beyond speech, text and visuals. Why they can't be expressed in language is it's so profound?

Answer by shankar acharya: Most powerful and shortest upanishad - mandukya Some key principles of brahman or God: NO JATI - it's Non-Dual you can't use caste perfect. NO GUNA - there's no quality of brahman that can be described. KRIYA - Action can't be used it's beyond action RELATION - Every relation should have at least 2 things to be related but because it's non dual there's no relation either.

RURI - Convention requires pointing at something but because you can't see, touch so this doesn't happens as well. Pure being, pure consciousness, reflected consciousness, pure bliss. - this are often described but because there's no detail explanation hence language can't say.

Hence silence is the key. VEDANTA - Itself is a upanishad but all upanishads are language hence it's bit contradicting. Brahman is NETI NETI - not this not this Incidental characteristics - Just recognizing a thing but not necessarily with reference to permanent object but temporary can be just to know the particular thing.

This universe has it's source in brahman, and will dissolve into brahman. The way is to know vedanta is understanding that everything in the life is brahman, not going to himalayas in search god also not by living the life as it is but realizing the presence. The spirituality is intense action and eternal calmness.

Because you know you r the unchanging reality. Spiritual life is not difference than secular life. Always karma results your actions.

Never approach anything accept as God. Act you should do for which you put in the world. Atman = brammh = Paramatma It says everything you see is maya, or the simulation like we saw in matrix or superimposition.

Eg. Thinking rope in dark night as a snake. Chandogya - Upanishad says TATVOMASI means you're the one and everything else is maya.
