Inner spiritual awareness: Upanishadic consciousness is an inward, profound realization of the self and ultimate reality, transcending sensory perception and intellect, leading to direct spiritual insight. It emphasizes knowledge (jnana) and inner realization over external rituals.
Neti neti method of negation for Brahman: A philosophical technique used in the Upanishads to describe Brahman as beyond all attributes by negation—“not this, not this”—indicating that Brahman cannot be fully comprehended by language or thought, only approached through negation of all limitations.
Identity of Atman and Brahman (Mahavakyas): The Upanishads declare the essential unity of the individual self (Atman) with the ultimate reality (Brahman), encapsulated in Mahavakyas such as Tat Tvam Asi (“That Thou Art”), Aham Brahmasmi (“I am Brahman”), emphasizing non-duality and inner realization.
