Badarayana, the originator of Vedanta has a standpoint of “bhedābheda” in this main work named “Brahma-sutra”. He thinks that the creator of world or fundamental cause (Brahman) and Atman or the phenomenal world are different. Therefore, Atman has the nature of Brahman. If all things cannot be existent in the world without Brahman, then Brahman and Atman is the same.
