Homonym: Aham (Self)
"Aham" is a Sanskrit term that translates to "I" or "self." It is often used in philosophical and spiritual contexts, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism, to denote the concept of individual identity and consciousness. The term is central to discussions about the nature of the self and its relationship to the universe.
In Advaita Vedanta, a school of thought within Hindu philosophy, "Aham" is explored in relation to the idea of Brahman, the ultimate reality. The realization of the true nature of "Aham" is seen as a path to enlightenment, where one understands that the individual self is not separate from the universal consciousness.
