In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Yathāsukha (यथासुख) refers to “living according to one’s desire”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Janaka says to Aṣṭavakra]: “The inner freedom of having nothing is hard to achieve, even with just a loin-cloth, but I live as I please (yathāsukha) abandoning both renunciation and acquisition [tyāgādāne vihāyāsmādahamāse yathāsukham]. Sometimes one experiences distress because of one's body, sometimes because of one's tongue, and sometimes because of one's mind. Abandoning all of these, I live as I please in the goal of human existence. [...]”.
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).
