Jagat. Fleeting illusion

 A

Here’s a concise comparison of the Vedanta perspective with the Diamond Sutra, focusing on the same core idea of non-attachment and ultimate reality:


  • Core Theme: Realization of Brahman (ultimate reality) and the illusory nature of the world (Maya).
  • Main Teaching: The individual self (Atman) is not separate from the universal Self (Brahman). Clinging to ego, possessions, or transient phenomena leads to suffering.
  • Key Points (Gist):
    • The world of names and forms is ultimately illusory.
    • True knowledge is self-realization: knowing that “I am Brahman.”
    • Detachment from desires and ego leads to liberation (Moksha).
    • Actions should be performed without attachment to results (similar to Karma Yoga).

  • Famous Saying (Upanishads): “Tat Tvam Asi” → “That Thou Art” (You are the ultimate reality).



One-line modern-life version:

“Know your true self, act without ego or attachment, and see the world as fleeting illusion.”


If you want, I can make a phone-note style 3–4 bullet version like the Diamond Sutra one for Vedanta. Do you want me to do that?
