From nature outside in the Vedas, man goes in the Upanishads into his own inner nature; and from the many he goes to the ONE. We find in the Upanishads the great questions of man, and their answer is summed up in two words: BRAHMAN and ATMAN. They are two names for one Truth, and the two are One and the same. The Truth of the Universe is BRAHMAN: our own inner Truth is ATMAN. The sacred OM is a name for both Brahman and Atman. This can be divided into three sounds, but the three roll into one: AUM.
