Upanishads
Philosophy
(Treatises in Hinduism)
Upanishads...
are treatises by various Spiritual Gurus who having Realized-God
... Summarized their experiences. They tried to teach the Esoteric
knowledge in ways ... Easy for the common man to understand ...
Consisting of lots of examples and comparisons!
Most Upanishads
deal with different topics ... Some with relationship of Atman (soul)
with Brahman (the Omnipotent Creator of the Cosmos), other with
relationship between different beings ... Be it a plant, animal
or a human life!! Some impart teachings on how to maintain a balance
between Spiritual and physical Manifested life ... a vast field
of resources for one and all.
In Spiritual
knowledge, Upnishads are placed next only to Gita, the Geet (song)
Supreme, the flute of Lord Krishna! Reading them gives you an inner
calm ... A feeling of Ananda (bliss)!! Atman within always longs
for one to read Scriptures in daily life ... Lest the liberation
of Atman from manifesting a body gets delayed.
For a layman,
Upanishads no doubt are complex to understand but, the guidance
of a true Guru can be extremely helpful. One finds a true Guru only
when he has full faith in the system of the Lord for all actions
result from his grace. Blessings of the Omnipotent one are essential
to proceed on the Spiritual path ... To learn the hidden meanings
of the revered texts!!
