: Hindupedia: The Hindu Encyclopedia (vedanta)叠丑别诲腻产丑别诲补 (啶啶︵ぞ啶啶�) or 叠丑别诲腻产丑别诲补v膩da refers the 鈥渄octrine of identity in difference鈥� which was taught by 叠丑补谤迟峁沺谤补辫补帽肠补, a propounder of one of the lesser-known schools of Ved膩nta.鈥擳his 产丑别诲腻产丑别诲补惫腻诲补 doctrine is a kind of monism in which both bheda or difference and abheda or identity are accepted between Brahman on the one hand and the 箩墨惫补蝉 and the world on the other. The waves and the foam or the bubbles that arise in the ocean are all identical as water, but different as waves or bubbles. Similarly, the 箩墨惫补蝉 or the individual souls and the world, which evolve out of Brahman are both different and non-different from it. 叠丑补谤迟峁沺谤补辫补帽肠补 accepts 辫谤补尘腻峁嘺-蝉补尘耻肠肠补测补, a combination of all the three well-known means of knowledge 辫谤补迟测补办峁 or direct perception, 补苍耻尘腻苍补 or inference and 腻驳补尘补 or the Vedas. As a consequence, he accepts the reality of the world experienced through the sense organs and hence the need for karma or action including ritualistic actions. [...]

Vedanta (啶掂啶︵ぞ啶ㄠ啶�, ved膩nta) 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).
General definition (in Hinduism)
: Google Books: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Hinduism("indentity-in-difference") Philosophical school whose best-known figures were Bhartrprapancha and Bhaskara. The Bhedabhada position identified three levels of being: the Ultimate Reality known as Brahman, the 鈥渨itness鈥� consciousness (sakshin) in the human being, and the world. The school paradoxically asserted thast these three levels are identical, yet different. Thus the world is identical to Brahman but is subjet to change and decay, unlike Brahman. In the same way, while each human soul is identical to Brahman, it is also subject to bondage and reincarnation (Ssamsara), unlike Brahman.

The characteristic position of all the different 叠丑别诲腻产丑别诲补 Ved膩nta schools is that the individual self (j墨v膩tman) is both different and not different from the ultimate reality known as Brahman. 叠丑别诲腻产丑别诲补 reconciles the positions of two other major schools of Ved膩nta.
The Advaita (Non-dual) Ved膩nta that claims that the individual self is completely identical to Brahman, and the Dvaita (Dualist) Ved膩nta that teaches complete difference between the individual self and Brahman. B膩dar膩ya峁嘺鈥檚 Brahma S奴tra (c. 4th century CE) may also have been written from a 叠丑别诲腻产丑别诲补 Ved膩ntic viewpoint.
Each thinker within the 叠丑别诲腻产丑别诲补 Ved膩nta tradition has their own particular understanding of the precise meanings of the philosophical terms "difference" and "non-difference". 叠丑别诲腻产丑别诲补 Ved膩ntic ideas can traced to some of the very oldest Ved膩ntic texts, including quite possibly B膩dar膩ya峁嘺鈥檚 Brahma S奴tra (c. 4th century CE).
