ADVAITA MEDITATION VI: Direct Transfinite Self-perception

The central idea of Hinduism is Brahman not to be confused with the god Brahma (creator). Brahman is the True reality of all things. It is formless incorporeal genderless indescribable unchanging can only be experienced. Everything that exists and we as individuals are part of Brahman. Our sense of individuality at the level of the Absolute in Brahman can be considered illusory.The sense of separability between us and the world and all other beings constitutes the essence of Maya which comprises also the ideas about our ego and identity the objects of all our thoughts are Maya. Our inner reality the Witness the Self itself is defined as the Atman which is not separate from the Absolute in Brahman but they are undifferentiated one and the same Spirit one and the same substratum of Existence and Pure Consciousness.Hindus believe that after physical death the essence of the individual reincarnates in a new body and returns to the world giving rise to the theory of reincarnation or transmigration of the soul. The endless cycle of birth death and rebirth forms the Samsara.
