Tat Tvam Asi (Devanagari: तत्त्वमसि), a Sanskrit phrase, translated variously as "That art thou," "That thou art," "Thou art that," "You are that," or "That you are," is one of the ''Mahāvākyas'' (Grand Pronouncements) in Vedantic Sanatana Dharma. It originally occurs in the ''Chandogya Upanishad'' 6.8.7,〔Raphael, Edwin (1992). ''The pathway of non-duality, Advaitavada: an approach to some key-points of Gaudapada's Asparśavāda and Śaṁkara's Advaita Vedanta by means of a series of questions answered by an Asparśin.''

The meaning of this saying is that the Self - in its original, pure, primordial state - is wholly or partially identifiable or identical with the Ultimate Reality that is the ground and origin of all phenomena. Major Vedantic schools offer different interpretations of the phrase: *Advaita - absolute equality of 'tat', the Ultimate Reality, Brahman, and 'tvam', the Self, Atman. *Shuddhadvaita - oneness in "essence" between 'tat' and individual self; but 'tat' is the whole and self is a part. *Vishishtadvaita - identity of individual self as a part of the whole which is 'tat', Brahman. *Dvaitadvaita - equal non-difference and difference between the individual self as a part of the whole which is 'tat'. *Dvaita of Madhvacharya - “Sa atmaa-tat tvam asi” in Sanskrit is actually “Sa atma-atat tvam asi” or “Atman, thou art not that”. In refutation of Mayavada (Mayavada sata dushani), text 6, 'tat tvam asi" is translated as "you are a servant of the Supreme (Vishnu)" *Acintya Bheda Abheda - inconceivable oneness and difference between individual self as a part of the whole which is 'tat'. ==In Advaita== Tat tvam asi is the Mahāvākya (Grand Pronouncement) from Chandogya Upanishad.〔Valerie J.Roebuck(2003).Penguin Books. London.〕 The Advaita school of Shankara assigns a fundamental importance to this Mahāvākya and three others of the same kind from three other Upanishads. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tat Tvam Asi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
