[FONT=q_serif]Everything in our universe and beyond that is in existence, from tinyest particles to greatest heavenly bodies are same in their primeval pure state which we know to be ‘Brahman', the first cause of material existence as well as the last refuge upon destruction. In short, Our universe along with everything in it emanates from Brahman upon creation and dissolves back in it upon destruction. So one can say the [/FONT]universe is Brahman

[FONT=q_serif]

Consciousness in living creature is essence of soul. Soul is living entity that exist in the same state as Brahman. In other words, the[/FONT]soul/self is Brahman.



[FONT=q_serif]Brahman is a concept in Hinduism. Not God or even a diety. Brahman is the idea of ultimate reality that goes over an above everything else from God (or Gods), Devas, Asuras, humans, living, inanimate, thoughts, deeds, space, time, matter and any other force that exists or doesn’t exist. Brahman is everything.[/FONT]

[FONT=q_serif]Oddly though, Brahman is impersonal. So you can’t pray to Brahman or build temples or listen to it’s advice. Brahman is the ultimate reality that we need to realise. The Vedas say that Oneness with Brahman is what the many sages, religions and practices try to help us attain through different methods. Ekam sat virpa bahuda vadanti. The ultimate reality is one. The wise approach it in different ways.

Brahman does not have enemies, it does not play favorites, it is not judgemental.


Just as space, that is the nearest thing to Brahman. 


There is no need to pray to space, or praise space, Brahman does not expect praise. not does it offer boons.

Your destiny is determined by your karmas.



I am not an expert on Brahman(or anything else), but this is what I understand, and that is what I want to realize.

InHinduismBrahman connotes the highest Universal Principle, the Ultimate Reality in the universe. In major schools of Hindu philosophy, it is the material, efficient, formal and final cause of all that exists. It is the pervasive, genderless, infinite, eternal truth and bliss which does not change, yet is the cause of all changes. Brahman as a metaphysical concept is the single binding unity behind diversity in all that exists in the universe.

As long as I see the "other" I have not realized. I must realize that there is no OTHER.
