Brahman
In
Hinduism,
Brahman (; ब्रह्मन) connotes the highest Universal Principle, the
Ultimate Reality in the universe. In major schools of
Hindu philosophy it is the material, efficient, formal and final
cause of all that exists. It is the pervasive, genderless, infinite, eternal truth and bliss which does not change, yet is the cause of all changes. Brahman as a metaphysical concept is the single binding unity behind the diversity in all that exists in the universe.
