In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Source: archive.org: Brihadaranyaka UpanishadThis entire universe, differentiated into name and form, was just this water in the beginning, and there was no other manifested object. Then that water produced Satya; therefore the Satya-Brahman is the first-born.
The name of the Satya-Brahman also is Satya. This consists of three syllables. What are they? ‘Sa’ is one syllable, ‘Tī’ is another syllable. The ī has been added to t for facility of indication. ‘Ya’ is the third syllable. Of these, the first and last syllables, ‘Sa’ and ‘Ya,’ are truth, being free from the form of death. In the middle is untruth. Untruth is death, for the words ‘Mṛtyu’ (death) and ‘Anṛta’ (untruth) have both a t in them. This untruth, the letter t, which is a form of death, is enclosed or encompassed on either side by truth, by the two syllables ‘Sa’ and ‘Ya,’ which are forms of truth.
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).
