Explanation:

• Brahman: In Hinduism, Brahman is considered the ultimate reality, the universal spirit, and the highest cosmic principle. It is the unchanging, infinite, immanent, and transcendent reality which is the Divine Ground of all matter, energy, time, space, being, and everything beyond in this Universe.
• Vedas: These are a large body of religious texts originating in ancient India. They are considered the oldest layer of Sanskrit literature and the oldest scriptures of Hinduism. They are not the universal spirit but rather sacred texts.
• Jati: It refers to the sub - caste or caste - like social groups in the Indian subcontinent. It is a social classification and not a spiritual entity.
• Reincarnation: Also known as rebirth or transmigration, it is the philosophical or religious concept that the non - physical essence of a living being starts a new life in a different physical form or body after biological death. It is a concept related to the cycle of life but not the universal spirit.
