Nature Of Existence

 

The Upanishads provide poetic descriptions of existence and life, and look to inform the reader about the nature of reality, in that Brahman is the ultimate truth.

“All this that we see in the world is Brahman.” 

– Chandogya Upanishad

“Brahman is Reality, Knowledge, and Infinity.” 

– Taittiriya Upanishad

Brahman alone pervades everything above and below; this universe is that supreme brahman alone. 

– Mundaka Upanishad.

The wise man beholds all beings in the Self and the Self in all beings; for that reason he does not hate anyone.

– Isha Upanishad

“Just as, my dear, by one clod of clay all that is made of clay is known, the modification being only a name, arising from speech, while the truth is that all is clay; 

Just as, my dear, by one nugget of gold all that is made of gold is known, the modification being only a name, arising from speech, while the truth is that all is gold.”

– Chandogya Upanishad
