In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra Gitaٲⲹ (कर्तव्यत�) refers to “one’s sense of responsibility� (used to describe Saṃsāra—the illusory world), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Even when pleased he is not pleased, not suffering even when in pain. Only those like him can know the wonderful state of such a man. It is the sense of responsibility (첹ٲⲹ) which is samsara. [kartavyataiva saṃsāro na tā� paśyanti sūraya�] The wise who are of the form of emptiness, formless, unchanging and spotless see no such thing. [...]�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम� (saṃsṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
