Brahman as detailed in Upanishads of Hinduism stood for God Almighty in all its glory. Upanishads clearly defined Brahman as the originator of present cosmos. As detailed in Upanishads, only when God Almighty exploded self with a big bang the present cosmos came into being. With the explosion of big bang, God Almighty himself (Brahman in Hinduism)… role of all souls atmans in cosmos comes into play.
In simple words Brahman could be defined as sum total of all souls’ atmans in cosmos in their pure form. Philosophically this means, when God Almighty exploded self with a big bang all pure souls’ atmans in cosmos scattered all over cosmos at unimaginable speeds. In the melee, hurtling souls’ atmans gathered impurities similar as a rolling ball gathers moss. To cleanse self of dross impurities within starts cosmic life cycle of every soul atman.
God Almighty, Brahman was that singularity in the beginning of cosmos explosion of which results in big bang. This fact has been clearly detailed in Upanishads yet, some scientists’ world over still disputed this absolute fact of life. To differentiate Brahman from souls’ atmans we would look at structure of a puzzle. Supposing God Almighty was a large cosmic puzzle consisting of unlimited individual pieces of puzzle parts. From this angle, every single soul atman in cosmos retained its individual identity similar as an individual part of a puzzle. No two parts in a puzzle were similar.
When human beings gained enlightenment and finally salvation moksha, the soul atman gaining absolute purity finally entered abode of God, kingdom of God (Vaikuntha in Hinduism), a point of no return. And what is this kingdom of God (Vaikuntha)? Symbolically kingdom of God, Vaikuntha was the large puzzle called God Almighty and in that the purified soul atman refits itself. If an individual piece of puzzle is an independent soul atman, the completed puzzle God Almighty.
If an individual grain of sand is an independent soul atman, the whole mound God Almighty. All souls’ atmans were of the same essence as God Almighty. In fact God existed in all living beings including human beings in miniscule form as our soul atman that seemed to reside in our heart. No human body could sustain in absence of a soul atman. Presence of a soul atman was integral to physical manifest life.
