Advaitic thoughts in vedas & gitas

The Supreme can not be limited to any particular name and form.
 It is the Supreme who thought" Ekoham Bahusyama"."I am one, let me become
 many." Creation started thereafter. It is the same Supreme being that
 becomes all beings. Those who can understand the Upanishads and Bhagawad
 Gita correctly, will realize the meaning of various scriptural
 declarations like---
 1.Sarvam Khalu idam Brahma( Chandogya Upanishad3-14-1)"The entire Universe
 is Brahman"
 2.Ekam Sat Vipraah Bahuda vadanti (The one is spoken differently by
 realized persons)
 3.Jiva is none other than Brahman(Jivo Brahmaiva na aparah).
 4.Brahman is non-different from Jiva
 5.Release is possible only through knowledge of non-difference between jiva
 and Brahman.
 6.The illumined soul,having become free from name and form, reaches the
 Self-effulgent Purusha,that is higher than the higher.(Tathaa vidwan
 namarupaat vimuktah paraat param purusham upaiti divyam. Mundaka
 Upanishad 3-2-8)
 7.Yato va imani bhutani jayante Yena jatani jivanti Yatprayanti
 abhisamvisanti Tadvijijinaasavasva Tadbrahma( That from which all these
 beings take birth, that by which they live after being born, that towards
 which they move and into which they merge,that is Brahman. Taittireeya
 Upanishad 3-1-1).i P
 8. Sadeva somya idamagra aaseet.Ekameva adviteeyam Tattejo
 srujata(Chandogya Upanishad 6-2-1 and 3) (In the beginning, my dear, this
 was Being alone, one only without a second. it created fire.)
 9.Atma va idameka evaagra aaseet . Sa imaanlokaanasrajata (Aitareya
 Upanishad 1-1-1&2)." In the beginning this was but the Absolute Self
 alone. He created these worlds"
 10. Aham sarvasya prabhavo mattah sarvam pravartate. iti matvaa bhajante
 maam budhaa bhaavasamanavitaah (Gita 10.8) " I am the origin of all; from
 me things evolve. The wise know this and worship Me( not Vasudeav
 Krishna) with all their heart".
 11.Mamaivaamso Jeevaloke Jeevabhtassanatanah Manasshashtaaneendriyaani Prakritisthaani
 Karshati( Gita 15.7) (A ray of Myself, the eternal Jiva in the world of
 jivas, attracts the senses...........".
