Saṃsarga-Abheda | Relation of Non-duality

Samsarga-Abheda

Saṃsarga-Abheda (IAST)
Translation: "relation of non-duality"

A Concise Dictionary of Indian Philosophy
Sanskrit: संसर्गाभेद
Transliteration: Saṃsarga-Abheda
Translation: "relation of non-duality"
Definition: "According to Advaita Vedānta, one of two types of Abheda-Samsarga. (See Vākyārtha.) This is oneness by courtesy. There is a oneness with relation, for the oneness exists only on a relational level. The object is one—e.g., a lotus—but it possesses two or more attributes, and/or meanings—viz., lotusness and blueness, etc."
