Brahman

We need food to sustain life and to create and develop new life. But merely food, skin, and bones is not what makes us tick,  as the breath of life is also available to us ; the dead have a body,  but lack the breath of life as it has moved from one physical body made of food to another. It is the breath which carries a consciousness from one life to another. What it leaves behind, however,  when transferring from body to body is the mind and its experiences,  which is reverted to a blank slate upon rebirth. The mind is both a vacuum of senses and images and an internal judgement maker.  The mind eventually,  depending on the individual,  develops understanding,  which separates the mind of a human from that of an animal. The understanding portion of the mind forms concepts and thinks critically,  which can be advanced depending on the person.  Should one train and develop a fit mind and dedicate themselves to the understanding of their inner self,  that one may become closer to Brahman ; Brahman and the inner self are one in the same. So if one can understand their own inner self one can understand Brahman. In the process one will also understand all there is to know,  all the knowledge ever to be known , from the beginning of everything to its end and everything in between. So,  by understanding ones own true reality it is also possible to understand everyone else's true reality,  as Brahman is at the core of everything and it is the same reality in each of us,  merely multiplied to an infinite amount.
