That which becomes the material cause of the world using the tamas-dominant maayaa, and that which becomes the intelligent cause of the world using the pure sattva-dominant maayaa, that brahman is denoted by the "that" word in "you are that".
Brahman is of the true form of existence consciousness bliss. When it takes the tamas-dominant maayaa (accepts it as an adjunct), it becomes the material cause (or the substratum of superimposition/burdening) of this moving and non-moving world.
Also, taking the pure-sattva-dominant maayaa (as its adjunct) it becomes the intelligent cause (or the doer who knows the material cause). That brahman which is of the form of intelligent and material cause becomes the "that" aspect of the great statement "you are that".
Pot and other objects have separate material and intelligent causes. The material cause and the intelligent cause of the world are not different like that.
