Product Description

Product Description

The Upanishads are the oldest and clearest expression of the perennial philosophy that is the inner core of all the great religions. Passed down by word of mouth for five thousand years, they teach of an absolute and unified field of intelligence that underlies and permeates all creation. This divine ground is our own nature, and to bring our lives into conscious harmony with it is the ultimate purpose of human existence.

This lucid translation captures both the poetry and the precision of the original, rendering accessible an extraordinary body of spiritual wisdom as never before. Speaking from the depth of the everlasting NOW, the Upanishads make the mind soar and the heart sing, and point the soul to freedom.


From the Hardcover edition.

quite naturally as the more the Self is contacted in meditation, the more It seeps into the very nature of the mind, bestowing an abiding sense of satisfaction and happiness. &quote;

Seen in this light, desire is an ally, not an enemy, serving the purpose of evolution by expanding the little self, which always suffers lack, in the direction of the Self, the source and goal of all. &quote;

The permanent awareness of the Self during all activity is the first stage of Enlightenment; it is technically known as Cosmic Consciousness. &quote;
