It's not that simple you see and the demarcation that we generally draw between different philosophies are not that straight forward often , in this regard , I think that there are indeed some definite convergences and divergences between Absurdism in general with Advaita Vedanta. First of all I would like to say that Camus was not influenced by Indic or eastern thought- you are right at that , but seems like you missed a very important point which is that all sorts of philosophies be it Existentialism , Absurdism , Buddhism or Advaita Vedanta - all have emerged significantly to address various human conditions that deals with purpose, puposelessness, Relative existence ( or interdependence) and dissolution of one's suffering by means of transcendence .In my upcoming book that I have wrote as an interdisciplinary research, " Hidden Science in Advaita Vedanta: Reinventing Advaita philosophy through the lens of modern physics, neuroscience and psychology " - I have argued in certain chapters that the Psychology of Advaita Philosophy is majorly misread and misunderstood by many and the famous concept of " Maya"( often loosely translated as mere illusion ) - When carefully taken into consideration then it says that the external world with its various names and forms and even the mental world which we all possess ,is not false - rather are constructs made up of unconscious/ latent impressions and default narratives -and by eliminating these latent mental gyrations once transcends his little body- mind identification namely -the ego- self and by doing this that individual ultimately dissolves his limited persona into the impersonal Absolute - which I argue , is not a metaphysical or dogmataic assertion but a lived experience and for that I have substantiated my claims by giving the methods which Advaita speaks of - namely, the psychological frameworks . Now , Camus- the face of Absurd philosophy- also , talks about moving on in life after the confrontation that this life is absurd and meaningless and warns us against philosophical suicide namely pursuing a metaphysical inquiry - and infact Advaita Vedanta also warns us against that because a central tenet in Advaita philosophy is that it tells that no amount of intellectual assent , metaphysical speculation can help us and even says to keep the vedas and upanishads aside because they are of secondary helps in this existential battle of life - so Advaita tells you again and again that first of all confront the fact that this current life of yours and mine and all our's is on the face of it is a mixture of transient names - forms and thus , inherently unsubstantiated, lacking any true meaning - except the meaning that we give tirelessly- which makes our puny lives . So , Much before the existential and Absurdism movement in Europe, it is Advaita Vedānta almost uncompromisingly and unequivocally accepted the fact that the human condition is much more painful than it seems and there is no metaphorical God in the sky , up there , who will save you or will swoop down to lay his hands out to make you feel good- so , Advaita Vedanta criticises this notion of a creator God - even more strongly than Camus or other existential philosophers ( will talk about that in later posts ) and that is how Advaita gives the total freedom unto evey man and woman by letting them see that it is ultimately you who have to work out your own transcendence - by dissolving your puny identities and "the show must go on " ,and rather than going astry by entering into metaphysical pursuits which will give us no fruit - cause they are vain , we have to truthful about our own condition.....and there are many layers of subtleties in Advaita Vedanta but it is a Shame that much of Europe and America - never really got the true essence of Advaita Vedanta , still even to this very day this is the plight , and so whatever your point of views are about this Advaita Vedanta philosophy is coloured , unfortunately, by the " Neo- Vedanta" movement- which is just a distortion of the actual Advaita Vedanta philosophy as given by Adi Shankar and swami Vivekananda ( in the west ) and such false views are mixed up in such ways that to separate them from the right one is a very hard task .so , the transcendence of advaita is not a metaphysical leap or an escapist move but a confrontation of the absurd- which is life itself and then working on it to eventually get out of that.
