In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Source: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaAbhimānin (अभिमानिन्) refers to “regarding oneself as” (e.g., “as being free” or “as being bound”) refers to one of the attributes of the Ātman (one’s own self), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] You are the one witness of everything, and are always totally free. The cause of your bondage is that you see the witness as something other than this. [...] That in which all this appears—imagined like the snake in a rope, that joy, supreme joy and awareness is what you are, so be happy. If one thinks of oneself (abhimānin) as free, one is free, and if one thinks of oneself (abhimānin) as bound, one is bound [muktābhimānī mukto hi baddho baddhābhimānyapi]. Here this saying is true, ‘Thinking makes it so’. [...]”.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
