Sankara

Many philosophies converge at Sankara's non dualism. Where differences do not exist, He and I are one.

"Brahma satyam, jagat mithya,
jeevo bhramaiva naparah"
                               -Sankara

Manyness of things

By birth men have an instinct to divide and distribute things. As kids we want toys to be divided; when we grow up we expect property and wealth to be divided, work to be divided, duties to be divided, families to be divided...what's worse- we do not even spare god. Your god, my god, Hindu god, Muslim god etc.
