Atman is pure, limitless awareness—unborn, undying, and ever-present. Though seemingly confined to an individual body-mind, it is never divided or limited. Atman is identical to Brahman, the non-dual reality, and is the true Self behind all experience.

Brahman is pure existence-consciousness—limitless and beyond all objects. Discover how Vedanta reveals Brahman as your true Self through logic and scripture.

Ignorance is not the absence of knowledge—it’s the presence of misperception. In Vedanta, ignorance (avidyā) is what makes us mistake a rope for a snake, or the body for the Self. This essay explores the subtle but pervasive force that distorts reality, and how knowledge—not belief—dispels it.

Avidya is the root of suffering in Vedanta—a misperception that veils the Self. Learn how it arises, persists, and dissolves through knowledge.

Karma means action—not fate. In Vedanta, it’s a law of growth and rebirth. Learn how karma shapes life and leads to liberation through selfless action.

Consciousness, according to Vedanta, is not an object to be discovered in the brain or a fleeting mental state—it is the ever-present, unchanging witness behind all experience.
