The phrase “Edam Sarvam Śāntam” (often written as “Idam Sarvam Śāntam”) is a Sanskrit expression. Let’s break it down:
- Idam (इदं) = this / all this
- Sarvam (सर्वम्) = all / everything
- Śāntam (शान्तम्) = peaceful / tranquil / calm
Translation:
“All this is peace”
or
“Everything is peaceful”
or
“This entire existence is tranquil.”
Context:
This kind of phrase is often used in Advaita Vedanta, Upanishadic literature, or spiritual discourses to describe the essential nature of Brahman — the ultimate reality — as peaceful, unchanging, and whole.
It resonates with the view that:
Beneath the apparent multiplicity and turbulence of the world, the fundamental reality is peace (śānti).
Let me know if you’d like it in Devanagari script or want references from scriptures.
