Discussion of Brahman-Atman and Jnana develops in the Upanishads as the means to drawn the mind of a man inwards towards the mysteries of the Universe and ultimate goal of man -Moksha or Mukti (loosely translated but not equal to liberation, freedom in this life or after-life). Worship which was primarily of the nature and natural elements (like fire, clouds and rains, air) in the Vedas was followed by worship of deities having a form and qualities (Saguna Brahma). Brahman in Vedanta and Upanishads is, however, both personal (Saguna) with form and name and impersonal (Nirguna) addressed as "Tat (तत्)" (That) which is a nameless, formless Supreme Entity without attributes and qualities.
