The word Brahman is used to represent the all pervading, ultimate reality without a second. The concept that brahman and jagat (world) are completely distinct from each other is dismissed and the tattva is explained. For example, Chandogya Upanishad describes the unity of Jiva and Brahman, in the form of conversation between [[Uddalaka and Shvetaketu (उद्दालकः श्वेतकेतुः च।)|Uddalaka and Shvetaketu]].

==== Atman ====
The Atman is individual self (soul) also called as Jivatma. The word ''Atman'' means the inner self, the soul, the immortal spirit in an individual, and all living beings including animals and trees. ''Atman'' is the predominantly discussed topic in the Upanishads, but they express two distinct, somewhat divergent themes. Some state that Brahman (Highest Reality, Universal Principle, Being-Consciousness-Bliss) is identical with ''Atman'', while others state ''Atman'' is part of Brahman but not identical. This ancient debate flowered into various dual, non-dual theories in Hinduism. The idea put forth by the Upanishadic seers that Atman and Brahman are One and the same is one of the greatest contributions made to the thought of the world.
