In the Hindu religion, Brahman is the unchanging, infinite, immanent, and transcendent reality which is the Divine Ground of all matter, energy, time, space, being, and everything beyond in this Universe.


Several mahā-vākyas, or great sayings, indicate what the principle of Brahman is:

prajnānam brahma - "Brahman is knowledge"
ayam ātmā brahma - "The Self (or the Soul) is Brahman "
aham brahmāsmi - "I am Brahman"
tat tvam asi - "Thou art that"
sarvam khalv idam brahma - "All this that we see in the world is Brahman",
sachchidānanda brahma - "Brahman or Brahma is existence, consciousness, and bliss".
