Philosophy · Advaita Vedanta
According to Adi Shankaracharya's philosophical contribution to Advaita Vedanta: 1. The phenomenal world's observed differences or multiplicity (nàmarùpa) are considered to be only verbal in nature, similar to differences between various gold articles. 2. The ultimate reality (Brahman) is an indescribable reality, but it is defined as the Creator (Isvara). 3. Adhyasa, also known as superimposition, is the result of wrongly attributing attributes of the object (Unconsciousness) to the subject (Pure Consciousness). 4. Maya is acknowledged as a powerful, lower order of reality that conceals Brahman's actual nature and projects a transient, deceptive appearance. 5. The primary source of knowledge (Epistemology) is the surrender (Prapatti) to God. Choose the correct option:
