The concept of Brahman connects with the concept of Ātman (true self/ spirit). Ātman is the true
self which is not adulterated by the Ego (ahaṁkāra). It is immortal, fearless (Prabhavananda,
2019) and indiscernible unlike the empirical body. It is the internal controller (antaryāmin)
beyond all of existence with no individualistic characteristics (Lindquist, 2019). Therefore,
knowing of the true self connects with knowing of Brahman- transcendence which resides in
everyone. The Brahman and the Ātman becomes one and the same (advaita).
