Briefly explain Brahman in the context of the Upanishads.
What will be an ideal response?
Brahman is a single "world soul" that is the foundation of all physical matter, energy, time and space, and being itself—in short, of everything in and beyond this universe. The Upanishads teach that underlying reality is a spiritual essence called Brahman. Although it is cosmic, Brahman is present in all people in a person's innermost self or soul. In other words, each person's innermost soul is a part of the one world soul. For most (but not all) Hindus, Brahman is not a personal being, as "world soul" might imply; it is spiritual, but it is not a spirit.
