Vedanta teaches that the world is nothing but name-and-form superimposed on the one reality — Consciousness (Brahman, God). Just as a pot is only clay in a particular form, so too all experiences are appearances of Consciousness. The sense of “I” as a separate doer is itself another name-and-form. Realizing this truth dissolves separation, ends sorrow, and reveals our nature as pure bliss. Using analogies such as clay-pot, gold-ornament, and wave-water, this article explores how Vedanta answers common spiritual doubts and points us to the oneness of existence.
