Many ideologists of Upanishad think that Brahman is the highest reality without any specific property, and we cannot give a precise definition to Brahman by the general conceptual category. If we are sure to know the true meaning of Brahman, we can only understand and realise it by various negations. In Upanishad, Brahman is described as the supreme god by some thinkers. It is viewed as the fundamental cause or the creator for things in the world.
