Understanding the Mahavakyas

Who is a brahmin?
Brahmin is one who believes in the Vedas and follows its tenets.

What do the Vedas reveal? 
Vedas reveal the attributes of brahman and how to attain it. 
What is brahman(m)?
 Pragnanam Brahma! The highest form of knowledge is brahmam.

 When I want to know of brahmam, you are introducing another concept Knowledge?
Well, the easiest way to identify braman is "Aham Brahmasmi" - I am brahman! 
 But you are my Guru and you have a name which is not brahmam.
It is not that I am alone brahmam. 
"Tat Tvam Asi" - You are also that brahmam!!.
Now is it clear?
How can it be clear? 
When I ask about brahmam, you have simplified it by saying that you are brahmam and so am I. 
Oh., what I actually meant is that the ATMAN  in each one of us is the brahmam,
"Ayam Atma Brahman"!!
