Brahman remains the focus of the discussion for most of the Upanishads. Adi Shankara was an important Hindu philosopher who wrote wonderful commentaries on the Upanishads and other scriptures explaining their meaning. You can read about Brahman in his commentaries below here, which is where the picture OP posted is from; his writings are some of the best that there are on that topic

If you felt like you dont understand his writing or didnt know a lot of the words than just read an intro to Hindu philosophy/Vedanta book such as any of the ones below and it will make sense
