In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Source: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaVihasya (विहस्य) refers to “being humiliated” (by one’s servant, son, wife, etc.), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] There is no attachment in the heart of a wise man whether he sees or pays homage to a learned Brahmin, a celestial being, a holy place, a woman, a king or a friend. A yogi is not in the least put out even when humiliated (vihasya) by the ridicule (dhikkṛta) of servants, sons, wives, grandchildren or other relatives. [vihasya dhikkṛto yogī na yāti vikṛtiṃ manāk] [...]”.
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).
