paramaane

Paramaane is a term that appears in certain religious and philosophical contexts, particularly within some interpretations of Indian spiritual traditions. It generally refers to a supreme or ultimate reality, consciousness, or principle from which all existence emanates and to which it ultimately returns. The concept is often associated with the idea of a singular, all-pervading essence that underlies the diverse phenomena of the universe.

In some traditions, paramaane is considered to be beyond human comprehension and description, existing as pure being or absolute truth. It is not a personal god in the conventional sense but rather an impersonal, transcendental ground of all. Understanding or realizing paramaane is often seen as the ultimate goal of spiritual practice, leading to liberation or enlightenment. The path to this realization typically involves meditation, self-inquiry, and the transcendence of ego-based perceptions. Different schools of thought may use variations of this term or describe related concepts with slightly different nuances, but the core idea of an ultimate, unifying principle remains consistent.
