points out, through unimpeachable reasoning, the
spiritual nature of the world and the individual
souL S'ankara takes every opportunity to insist
that the true essence of man and the universe is
Existence- Knowledge- Bliss Absolute. It is only
when the individual sees a difference between Brah-
man and himself and the universe that he becomes
a victim of fear, suffering, and misery. The
characterization of deluding names and forms as
maya, and the injunction to renounce the unreal
as a means to realization of Truth, are not new
ideas of S'ankara’s but are both explicit and
implicit in the Upanishads.
