This is a very ancient philosophy that comes from India where its called Advaita Vedanta.

I would recommend the books "I am that", which is a collection of converstions with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, and "Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi".
Is Advaita Vedanta = Solipsism?

The philosophy of Vedanta which says "Aham Brahmasmi", roughly translated as "I am the Absolute Truth", indicates solipsism in one of its primitive senses.

Whereas Steve says -

Is subjective reality the same thing as solipsism (aka egoism)?

No. In fact, from a certain perspective it’s almost the opposite of solipsism.


So ,how can we compare Vedanta with SR ?
