Significance of Limitation
According to Vedanta, limitation pertains to the constraints or external conditions that individuals erroneously perceive as influencing the Atman. This concept highlights the misunderstanding that external factors can impact the true self, which is considered eternal and unchanging. The philosophy promotes the idea that these limitations are merely illusions, and recognizing this can lead to a deeper understanding of one's true nature beyond the confines of external influences.
