I propose a discussion on my PDF-PowerPoint "Analogies between Indian Philosophy and Neoplatonism". I used this PDF-PowerPoint for the lecture held on 3rd July 2025 at the hybrid workshop "Mindfulness and Mind Fasting Challenges for Management Education, Business Studies, and Transformative Leadership", jointly organized and co-nurtured by Professor Subhash Sharma, Chief Mentor, Indus Business Academy, Bangalore and Professor Ananta Kumar Giri and Minati Pradhan of Vishwaneedam Center for Asian Blossoming. I am working on a text corresponding to some parts of the PowerPoint. In my inquiry, I would like to expose some aspects of Plotinus’ thought which have, in my opinion, analogies with aspects of Indian Philosophy as regards both mindfulness and mind fasting. Both philosophical traditions insist on the individual’s duty to know what he is, what his condition in the reality is, and which dimension should be appropriate to his nature. The withdrawal from the senses, the concentration on oneself and the detachment from the exterior reality are some of the central analogies between the two philosophical positions. I shall concentrate my attention on Plotinus’ conception of the One, on the relations between One and multiplicity, on the separation of the individual from the One and on the return to the One. I shall then investigate the opposition expressed in the Upaniṣads between inauthentic reality and authentic reality, the initial position of the individual in the darkness and the return of the individual to the true dimension of reality. The individual’s ascent to the One in Plotinus and the liberation of the individual from the dimension of multiplicity will be a central theme of my exposition since these subjects have analogies with some passages of the Bhagavad Gita and of the Upaniṣads in which the process of liberation of the individual from the ties of the average sense reality are described. The initial position of the individual as a position of decadence of the individual will be exposed by resorting to different passages of Plotinus’ Enneads. The opposition between knowledge and opinion, on the one hand, and between intellect and sense perception, on the other hand, will be investigated in order to see the similarities with passages from the Bhagavad Gita and from the Upaniṣads in which the opportunity of a progressive detachment from the sense dimension is insisted on. The common ground between Plotinus, on the one hand, and Bhagavad Gita and the Upaniṣads, on the other hand, proves to be the conception of philosophy as the revelation that the everyday way of living is inauthentic, that there is an authentic dimension of reality, that the individual ought to reach the authentic dimension of reality, and that a long process of education is needed for the individual to be able to reach the authentic dimension of reality. Furthermore, Plotinus’ description of the One as an entity which is beyond all predicates can be analysed, in my opinion, with particular attention to the analogies which this subject can have with the descriptions of the nature of Brahman. The main texts on which I shall base my inquiry will be Plotinus’ Enneads, on the one hand, and the Bhagavad Gita and the Upaniṣads, on the other hand.
