What does 'from Brahma to the smallest being' signify?

It signifies the entire range of manifestation, from the cosmic creator to the least form of life, all understood as not separate from the Self.

What is meant by 'without differentiation'?

It means the absence of dividing thought that separates reality into opposed or independent entities.

Why is the person beyond attainment and non-attainment?

If the Self is already all, then nothing remains to be gained or lost in an ultimate sense.

Answers come straight from the texts, with the shlokas they draw on. Ask in your own words.
