In the eighth-ninth century, Shankaraachaarya gave the principle of monism. This doctrine is also called Vedaanta. According to this belief, Brahma is the only truth and this visible world is false and most importantly that Jeev (Aatmaa), the soul and Brahm (Paramaatmaa), the Supreme Power, are one and there is no difference between them. It is also said in the Brihadaaranyaka Upanishad, 'Aham Brahmaasmi' that means I am Brahma. That is, the soul is Brahma ( the supreme power). Advaita not only says that the soul (Jeev) is a part of the Supreme Soul (Paramaatmaa) , or a particle is a bit or piece of the universe, but it also believes that this world is false If we examine Ghalib's religious views expressed in his poetry, we find that he believed in monotheism. Ghalib says that everyone accepts that You ( Allah) are one, unique and that no one can match you or face you. Ghalib is a strong advocate of Tauhiid, the belief that God is only one and unique. He is against the belief of Shirk, (polytheism). He favored mutual communion among all sects. He has said that we are believers of one God and our tendency is to give up the bonded customs and rituals. Ghalib also believed in the idea of ??unity of Aatmaa and Paramaatmaa, Jeev and Brahma or the micro and the macro. This belief is evident in his countless Shers. He says that though you are in everything in the world, you are still different and unique. In a Sher he says that every drop is saying that I am the ocean, in the same way we also belong to Him (He and us are the same). Ghalib has also pointed out the absurdity (uselessness) of this meaningless world in many of his Shers. Ghalib considers life or existence as a hoax and this world as a web of imagination and believes that even though people say that there is existence but it is not there.
