Non-dualism is a philosophical and spiritual concept that suggests that there is no fundamental duality or separation in the universe. Instead, it proposes that all things are ultimately one and interconnected.
In the context of Hindu philosophy, non-dualism is often associated with the Advaita Vedanta school, which teaches that the ultimate reality, Brahman, is without form, qualities, or attributes, and that everything in the universe is a manifestation of this ultimate reality.
Non-dualism suggests that the apparent diversity and multiplicity of the world are illusory, and that there is an underlying unity that transcends all apparent boundaries and distinctions. This underlying unity is often identified with pure consciousness, which is considered to be the fundamental essence of all things.
According to non-dualism, individual consciousness is not fundamentally separate from pure consciousness, but is rather an aspect or expression of it. In other words, individual consciousness is a limited and conditioned form of consciousness that arises from the individual mind and body, but it is ultimately rooted in and connected to pure consciousness.
Through spiritual practices such as meditation, self-inquiry, and devotion, it is possible to transcend the limitations of individual consciousness and connect with pure consciousness. This connection with pure consciousness can bring about a sense of unity, peace, and fulfillment, and can help us to recognize the underlying oneness of all things.
