This paper investigates non-dualism as a transformative paradigm capable of dismantling the symbolic and epistemic inequalities rooted in hierarchical models of reality. The analysis deconstructs the epistemic inequality between the Western Cartesian paradigm and the perspective of the Upaniṣads. The Cartesian cogito ergo sum - the root of the individualistic, consumerist, and capitalist model - generates a fragmented subject whose certainty of existence resides solely in thought. This is contrasted with the deconstruction of ahaṃkāra (the «I-sense») as presented in the Upaniṣads. The tension between socio-cosmic structure and individual liberation finds its synthesis in India within the varṇāśramadharma system. On one hand, the ontology of the Puruṣasūkta (RV, X, 90) establishes the social stratification of the gṛhastha (householder), where inequality is a necessary phase in the «play» (līlā) of life. On the other, the intuition of the Nāsadīyasūkta (RV, X, 129) offers the saṃnyāsin (renunciant) a path to transcend fixed roles, rejoining the pure ontological reality of being. Through an analysis of the three states of the Māṇḍūkya and the kaivalya of Sāṃkhya-Yoga, this paper demonstrates how the realization of the ātman-brahman identity provides an immanent ground for liberation. This autonomy of the self dismantles models of ontological separation and epistemic power asymmetries. By postulating the transcendence of the mind (manas), these traditions dissolve the barrier between internal and external, allowing the «drop to return to the ocean». While dualistic monotheism may foster polarized visions and exclusionary truths, non-dualism emerges as a symbol of equality within differentiation.
