1. brahman

   In Hindu philosophy, Brahman is the ultimate reality or highest universal principle, transcendent and immanent, the source, origin, and end of everything. It is considered the divine essence that permeates all things in the universe and the cosmic power behind all physical, mental, and spiritual phenomena. It is an abstract, genderless concept, beyond all comprehension by human consciousness.

1. Brahman

   In Hinduism, Brahman is "the unchanging reality amidst and beyond the world", which "cannot be exactly defined", but is Sat-cit-ānanda and the highest reality. Brahman is conceived as personal, impersonal and/or Para Brahman, supreme, depending on the philosophical school. The sages of the Upanishads teach that Brahman is the ultimate essence of material phenomena that cannot be seen or heard but whose nature can be known through the development of self-knowledge. According to Advaita, a liberated human being has realised Brahman as his or her own true self. Radhakrishnan, who is representative of the "Modern Hinduism", refers to Brahman as the Absolute or Godhead which is the Divine Ground of all being. The Isha Upanishad says: Auṃ - That supreme Brahman is infinite, and this conditioned Brahman is infinite. The infinite proceeds from infinite. If you subtract the infinite from the infinite, the infinite remains alone.
