The Beliefs of Hinduism Brahman (oneness of all) Atman (the true self) Maya (illusion)

Brahman Brahman is: The underlying unity of all things The power that sustains the universe and its deepest reality That power that unites and sustains all things is “Consciousness”

What does it mean to be “One”? Look at this beautiful painting. The paint is one substance, yet the colours and objects are many.

The Ocean is One Body of Water Yet each drop is individual

As the wave churns and crashes, it creates hundreds of drops of water As the wave churns and crashes, it creates hundreds of drops of water. Each drop appears separate and unique.

Some drops evaporate with the heat of the sun and fall to the earth as rain or snow.

Some drops live for a while in flowers and trees, nourishing life.

The drops of water flow into rivers and streams on their journey back to the ocean.

Union with Brahman comes through awareness of atman.

Brahman What sustains this unity of all things is Consciousness. Consciousness is: Subjective experience Awareness Wakefulness The search for Brahman is the search for reality.

What is Atman? The True Self Remember that drop of water that came from the ocean. Drops of water are found in everything, even rocks. Humans are between 55 to 75 percent water.

Atman is Your True Self Atman is a drop of the divine Brahman. Atman exists within a person. Therefore, all persons are a part of the divine. Hindus believe it is important to become aware of this divine spark of Brahman within themselves and within all things. They must overcome illusion.

What is Maya? The Hindu word for illusion is “maya.” For Hindus, everything we see, smell, touch, hear, or think is illusion (maya). Seeing things as separate and not One (Brahman) is a result of maya.

What do you see when you look at this picture?

Do you see a chalice or two faces? Look Again.

Maya (Illusion) Which is real and which is illusion? There is no correct answer—faces or chalices—because both possibilities can be seen. Maya, or illusion, keeps us from knowing the truth. For Hindus, maya keeps a person from seeing the divine oneness (Brahman) that surges through all things.

Brahman, Atman, and Freedom Hindus believe that true freedom comes when a person is aware of Brahman (atman) in all things. How might being aware of God’s presence in all things change a person’s understanding of his or her relationship with others and with all of creation?
