Atman is Abraham
The phrase "atman is Brahman" captures the Vedanta school's primary view about ultimate reality and our human relationship to it. The Vedanta school of Hindu thought is one of the largest and most dominant perspectives in Hindu philosophy.

Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by "Atman is Abraham"? Are you speaking of the Abram, who was re-named Abraham by God Most High, El Elyon, the living God?

Thank you kindly.

Any first-year-student of linguistics can tell you why that's a VERY bad idea.

Of course the same thing is true with Brahman and Abraham and Sarah and Saraswati, but the correspondence is much more amusing.
