Upanishad: The concentrated wisdom

The Upanishads are sacred texts that teach us the purpose of life. They guide us to discern reality from the glitter of life by sitting down near a qualified guru to receive spiritual knowledge.

The Upanishads deal with the know-how of awareness of the unchanging reality. They teach us to do away with the unreal substance and our identification with the self as “me & my” religion, creed, caste, belief, or opinion.

The Upanishads are gender-neutral and do not distinguish between the heroics of men and women. They are a treatise of wisdom that would guide us in the realm of happiness.

The stories in the Upanishads are abundant in converting our flaws into perfection and guiding us from hopelessness to hopefulness. They point us to permanent happiness, which is within us but, unfortunately, is often sought outside.

I have chosen some selective stories of the Upanishads that will change your life by changing the paradigm of your thinking and converting your limited pleasures into abundance. Money can’t buy all the happiness, but accurate knowledge of self can.

I am confident that this book will serve its readers by fulfilling their spiritual needs.
