The Upanishads are a collection of Vedic texts particularly important to Hinduism that contain revealed truths concerning the nature of ultimate reality, and describing the character and form of human salvation. The notion of Atman is related to Brahman and is an equally important term in the Upanishads. Although Atman is sometimes translated as "self" or "soul," the notion of Atman in the Upanishads is different from the notion of an individual soul.
