Principle of Advita was propounded by Adi Shankaracharya. Following are the features of this Advaita philosophy:
• According to this principle there is no difference between soul & universe i.e both are intermingled
• The doctrine says that there is no difference between the Atman and the Brahman. The individual soul is not different from Brahman. Hence, its name Advaita meaning non-duality
• The basic theme of Advaita is that the one unchanging entity alone is real, while changing entities do not have absolute existence
The world is Maya or illusion and only the Self is real. A person who realises this attains moksha (liberation of the soul)
