Which of the following is not maintained by Sankara ?
Answer: D
Sankara does not maintain that Ātman is created by Brahman.
For Sankara's Advaita, Atman is Brahman: the self is pure, eternal consciousness, uncreated and identical with the ultimate reality, as the Upanishadic sayings 'tat tvam asi' and 'aham brahmasmi' declare. Nothing can create Atman, since there is nothing other than it.
The other three are his doctrines. Atman and Brahman are identical; the jiva, the individual soul, is in reality Brahman, its separateness being due to ignorance; and the world (jagat) is a superimposition (adhyasa) on Brahman, like a snake on a rope.
