According to 'Samkara 'Tatvamasi' means

  • A.Identity between world and God
  • B.Identity between knower and known
  • C.Identity between individual soul and Brahman
  • D.Identity between world and self

Answer: C

For Samkara, 'Tat tvam asi' means the identity between the individual soul and Brahman, so the answer is C.

The sentence 'That thou art' comes from the Chandogya Upanishad, where the father Uddalaka tells his son Svetaketu that the self is the Absolute. Samkara reads it, after removing the limiting adjuncts of 'tat' (the cosmic) and 'tvam' (the individual), as the identity of the self (jiva) with Brahman.

The other options speak of the world as God (A), the knower with the known (B) or the world with the self (D), which are not the meaning that he draws from it.
