Non-dualism. The individual self and Brahman are one. The world is appearance (maya). Liberation through knowledge.

10.40 O destroyer of enemies, there is no limit to My divine manifestations. This description of (My) manifestations, however, has been stated by Me by way illustration.

Sri Shankaracharya
