Vedanta teaches that the world is nothing but name-and-form, with Consciousness as its sole reality. Just as a pot is only clay appearing in a certain form, this universe is only God appearing as countless names and forms. The sense of an individual “I” too is merely a thought-form within Consciousness. When this truth is realized, doership dissolves, sorrow ends, and one discovers that true happiness lies not outside but in the Self, which is ever free, blissful, and divine.
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.
