parsattavissa

Parsattavissa is a term derived from the Sanskrit language, which means "capable of being cut" or "capable of being divided." It is often used in philosophical and metaphysical contexts to describe the nature of reality and the self. In Advaita Vedanta, a school of Hindu philosophy, parsattavissa is used to explain the non-dual nature of reality. According to this philosophy, the self (Atman) and the universe (Brahman) are fundamentally one and the same. However, the self is often described as parsattavissa, meaning it can be divided or understood in different ways, depending on the perspective or the level of understanding. This concept is used to illustrate the idea that the self is not a fixed entity but is rather a dynamic and ever-changing aspect of the ultimate reality. Parsattavissa is also used in other philosophical traditions to discuss the nature of reality, the self, and the relationship between the individual and the cosmos. It is a complex and multifaceted concept that continues to be explored and debated by scholars and philosophers in various disciplines.
