What does Upanishad Teach us??

What do the Upanishads teach us?...............

The authors of the Upanishads did not all think alike; but, taking their meditations as a whole, we may say that they are dominated by one paramount conception’ that of the ideal of oneness of the soul of man with the soul of the universe.

The Sanskrit word for the soul of man is Atman and the word for the soul of the universe is Brahman.

‘God’s dwelling place’, says Professor Radhakrishnan in this exposition of the philosophy of the Upanishads, ‘is the heart of man. The inner immortal self and the great cosmic power are one and the same.’

Brahman is the Atman, and the Atman is the Brahman. The one supreme power through which all things have been brought into being is one with the inmost self in each man’s heart.’

What is real in each of us is his self or soul. What is real in universe is its self or soul, in virtue of which its All is One, and the name for which in our language is God.

In other words of one of the Upanishads: ‘He who is the Brahman in man and who is that in the sun, these are one.’

It's all about money.

"All Things Bright & Beautiful"

All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful:
the Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors,
and made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountains,
the river running by,
the sunset and the morning
that brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden:
God made them every one.

God gave us eyes to see them,
and lips that we might tell
how great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well.
&
All things bringht and beautiful

it's It's Itall about money.it's all about money.

I met Money one day and said " You are just a piece of paper".
Money smiled and said,"of course 'am a piece of paper, but I haven't seen a dustbin yet, in my life."

"When you Believe in Yourself."

"Always be the reason of someone's happiness

Never be just a part of it. Always be a part of someone's sadness

But never be the reason for it."

“Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart and in esteem because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond, while you were busy collecting stones."

"We can't solve the problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

When you believe in Yourself:

Ever strive to excel.
Yearn to Learn.
And seek to have fire in the belly.
Bounce in the step.
Twinkle in the eyes.
Hope in the heart.
Steel in the nerves.
Spirit in the limbs.
Aim in the mind.
Tact in the tongue.
Smile in the lips.
Grace in the face.
Humour in the speech.
Logic in the thought.
Passion in a mission.\
And a purpose in life.

Just think of yourb brain for a moment-If you don't use it properly to it's optimum level for its functions of learning,knowing,analyzing and discovering, it will loose its value,importanc and purpose.

He who is the cause of all and who enables all things to function according to their nature,who brings to maturity all that can be ripened,who, being, non-dual, rules over the whole universe and engages the gunas in their respective functions-He is concealed in the upanishads,the secret part of the vedas.Brahma knew him who can be known only from the evidence of the vedas. The Gods and seers of olden times who knew him became brahman and attained immortality.

Yajur veda, Svetasvatara Upanishad Pt I,Ch.V 5-6

As the sun shines,illumining all the quarters-above-below and across, so also God,self resplendent,adorable and non-dual,controls all objects,which themselves possess the nature of a cause.

Yajurveda,Svetasvatara Upanishad Pt I, Ch V-4
