Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Shankara's teachings became known within the Hindu philosophical school of Advaita Vedanta. This school teaches that there's only 1 absolute reality, referred to as Brahman, which is non-dual. They claim that Brahman is the only true reality, and everything else which appears to exist is illusionary, including the planet. The continuing cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara) occurs thanks to the human illusionary perception of difference from Brahman. However, Maya (illusion) will be overcome by removing ignorance of the fact that Atman is ultimately identical to Brahman; or that everything is non-dual and has no individual existence.
