Answer a question about this article:
According to this school of Vedanta, all reality is Brahman, and there exists nothing whatsoever which is not Brahman. Its metaphysics includes the concept of maya and atman. Maya connotes "that which exists, but is constantly changing and thus is spiritually unreal". The empirical reality is considered as always changing and therefore "transitory, incomplete, misleading and not what it appears to be". The concept of atman is of soul, self within each person, each living being. Advaita Vedantins assert that atman is same as Brahman, and this Brahman is within each human being and all life, all living beings are spiritually interconnected, and there is oneness in all of existence. They hold that dualities and misunderstanding of maya as the spiritual reality that matters is caused by ignorance, and are the cause of sorrow, suffering. Jivanmukti (liberation during life) can be achieved through Self-knowledge, the understanding that atman within is same as atman in another person and all of Brahman the eternal, unchanging, entirety of cosmic principles and true reality.
To what do Advaita Vedantins view atman as the same?
Brahman
