Concept of Liberation after Advaita Vedanta: bridging the gap between One and many

Abstract: One of the most significant philosophical traditions in Indian thinking is found in Advaita Vedanta, which develops epistemological and ontological concepts like knowledge, error, and liberation. Based on the teachings of the Upanishads, Brahma Sutras, and Bhagavad Gita—collectively referred to as the Prasthanatrayi—Advaita presents a non-dual conception of existence in which the particular self, Atman, and the ultimate truth, Brahman, are the same. Sat-Chit-Ananda (Existence–Consciousness–Bliss) is the name given to this non-dual reality, which transcends all subject-object divisions. By analyzing the connection between knowledge and ignorance, Advaita Vedanta offers a methodical explanation of human suffering and the way to liberation through the philosophical contributions of scholars like Gaudapada and Adi Shankara. The state of human bondage, which results from avidya (ignorance), is the main issue addressed by Advaita Vedanta. In this article I would like to emphasis these concepts of this school.
