The Upanishads are primarily concerned with which of the following philosophical concepts?
Atman and Brahman
The Upanishads represent a philosophical shift away from the earlier Vedic focus on rituals and sacrifices toward deeper metaphysical inquiry.
Their central concern is the nature and relationship between Atman (the individual self) and Brahman (the ultimate cosmic reality), exploring the idea that the two are fundamentally one.
Rituals and sacrifices belong to the earlier Vedic Samhitas and Brahmanas, worship of natural forces belongs to early Vedic hymns, and laws of social conduct are addressed in texts like the Dharmashastras, not the Upanishads.
