  • PREFACE

    The chronology of the Old Testament has influenced almost all the speculations of Oriental scholars in regard to the possible dates of the Vedas and the Upanishads. It is very difficult to say anything with positive confidence on this subject, but this much is certain, that the Upanisads, at least the ten principal ones, are not in any way posterior to the Vedas. The argument that a philosophy like that embodied in the Upanisads cannot exist side by side with the nature-worship of the Vedas, loses its force when the Suktas of the Veda are regarded as symbolic only of those esoteric truths which were taught through the Upanisads to the select few. Symbology helps the solution of many a riddle over which philology has either sat in despair or which it has understood only to misunderstand. The history of all the great religions of the world shows, that there is nothing inconsistent- ent in the possible existence of a sublime philosophy with the empty formalities of popular religion. This circumstance in itself is an indirect argument against the later origin of the Vedas and the Upanishads.

    Veda means knowledge, and Upanisad means both the exoteric philosophy of Brahman, the Advaita, and sittings for the discussion of that philosophy. The Upanisads are aptly called the Vedanta, the end of the Veda, that which is reserved for those who have freed themselves from the useless bonds of formal religion. The Veda consists of three parts: Mantra, Brahmana, and Upanisad, including the Aranyakas.

  • INTRODUCTION

    This short Upanisad is composed for the purpose of exalting the knowledge of the supreme spirit above every other object of human aspiration. It appears to address the last advice of a teacher to his disciples, after the course of their instruction is completed, or to embody the sum total of human wisdom in a few words for those who have attained it.

    There are, according to the Vajasaneya-Samhita Upanisad, two roads which may be followed by man, the one is knowledge of Brahman, the other, action in accordance with the precepts of Vedas. Those who are able to understand the nature of Brahman, should consider everything, the greatest as well as the smallest, as god; for them everything else should be annihilated by the idea of God, and they should renounce every desire of any worldly object. If he is known in his own nature as the one, infinite, unchangeable, incorporeal, all-wise, hole, all-supporting and self-existent spirit, who is in every thing and yet not defined by it, who is above the apprehension of the senses and the mind, if he is beheld in all beings, and all beings are beheld in him, then the highest aim of man is attained; there is no longer any grief or delusion.
