The above statement is True.
The literal meaning of Upanishad is approaching and sitting near, and they contain conversations between teachers and students. When Buddha and Mahavira became popular and preached their ideas, some Upanishadic thinkers tried finding answers to questions about life. Some wanted to know about life after death, and others questioned the meaning of sacrifices and why people performed them. Several Upanishadic thinkers believed that there was something permanent in the universe that stayed even after death. They illustrated this as the atman (the individual soul) and the brahman (the universal soul), who ultimately become one. These new thinkers recorded their ideas in the Upanishads, which became a part of the later Vedic texts.
