I guess you, Sir, mean "ahaM brahmaasmi" (I am Brahma[n]).
Some (dualists, and stuff?) think, I believe, that the phrase
above is actually "tattvam asi" (tattva [you] are). In devanaagarii
"tattvam asi" and "tat tvam asi" look exactly the same (actually,
they "look like" "tattvamasi").

the identity of the whole world with the one eternal Brahma [%{tad}]

(I'm not sure why M-W uses the form 'tad' for 'tat'. In any
case, 'd' is not "permissible in pausâ" in Sanskrit...)
