Advaita Vedanta, translated as "non-dualistic end of the Vedas," is rooted in the ancient Indian scriptures known as the Vedas. It proposes that the ultimate reality, Brahman, is formless, infinite, and beyond any attributes or distinctions. This reality is considered to be the essence of the universe and everything within it.

The philosophy asserts that the individual soul (Atman) is fundamentally identical to Brahman, suggesting that the apparent diversity and separation in the world are illusions (maya). In other words, there is no real distinction between the individual self and the ultimate reality; they are one and the same.

The teachings of Advaita Vedanta often involve introspection, meditation, and contemplation to realize the true nature of the self and to overcome the illusions created by the mind. The concept of "neti neti" (not this, not this) is commonly used to negate all attributes and concepts in an attempt to reach the formless reality.

Adi Shankara, a philosopher and theologian from the 8th century, is a key figure in systematizing and popularizing Advaita Vedanta. His commentaries on the Vedas, Upanishads, and other texts have been influential in shaping the understanding of non-dualistic philosophy.

Practitioners of Advaita Vedanta seek to attain self-realization and experience a state of unity with Brahman, transcending the limitations of the ego and the material world. While this philosophy is deeply rooted in Hindu thought, its ideas have also influenced various spiritual traditions and modern thinkers outside of India.
