This section introduces the essential vision of Advaita Vedānta. It lays out the fundamental distinctions—Ātma and anātma, satyam and mithyā, Brahman and Māyā—through which the Upaniṣads reveal the nature of reality. These pages offer a stable foundation for deeper inquiry.
Sat & Chit equivalence in Advaita Vedanta
Sat is “real” – materialist view, Charwaka etc Chit is “real” – Idealists, Vijnana wada, Buddhists. Chit is “momentarily real” – Kshanika vijana Chit and Sat are both real – Dualists, All religions of the world. Most people live at superficial level of Chit centered on the mind (memory and habits/vasana) and therefore get bound by the worldly events and suffer. Need external God and live in the Triangle format (Jiva, Jagat, Ishwara). Chit is Sat – Advaita Vedanta. In the depth of Awareness (chit) there is the presence without name and form. BE in this unified state of Tattavamasi. Talk
