In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Anirvṛtā (अनिर्वृता) refers to “living an unfulfilled life”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Some think that something exists, and others that nothing does. Rare is the man who does not think either, and is thereby free from distraction. Those of weak intelligence think of themselves as pure non-duality, but because of their delusion do not know this, and remain unfulfilled (anirvṛtā) all their lives. [na tu jānanti saṃmohādyāvajjīvamanirvṛtāḥ] [...]”.
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).
