Saguṇa Brahman

Brahman “with qualities”: the absolute described as the personal Lord, creator and object of worship.

Also: Saguna Brahman

Vedānta and the Hindu traditions

Saguṇa Brahman is Brahman considered with attributes: as the Lord (Īśvara) who creates, sustains and dissolves the world and who responds to devotion. For Advaita it is the highest reality as seen from within appearance, real for worship but not final. For Viśiṣṭādvaita and Dvaita, the Lord with infinite auspicious qualities is the highest truth itself.
