Achintya Bheda Abheda

Achintya Bheda Abheda (meaning 'inconceivable difference and nondifference') is a concept in Hindu philosophy. It means that one thing can have qualities that are both similar to and different from each other at the same time. For example, water can be both cold and hot at the same time. Achintya Bheda Abheda teaches us that nothing is truly simple, and that different things can both be the same and different all at once.
