The concept of God in Javanese mysticism (Sangkan Paraning Dumadi) and Advaita Vedanta of Adi Śańkarācārya is monistic theism, or transcendent monotheism, where God is one. In Javanese mysticism, the universe originates from God and will return to God; in Advaita Vedanta, Brahman is the absolute reality, and everything else, including nature, is an illusion of Maya. God consciousness cannot be reached by reason or empirically but through the senses in mind. Javanese mysticism uses practices of Heneng, Hening, Henong, and Catur Lampah Laku to achieve Manunggaling Kawula Gusti, while Advaita Vedanta removes the veils of Maya and avidya (ignorance) to unite Atman and Brahman.
