Kena Upanishad begins with the question “Who makes the senses work?’
The Upanishads are the last sections of the sacred Veda, and are treated as the science of freedom through the knowledge of one’s true self. Since these come at the end of the Vedas, they are known as Vedanta.
The Upanishads are not easy to understand without a commentary and a proper teacher. The truths presented in the Upanishads (these are not philosophical speculations) are so subtle and profound that only those with extremely sharp and penetrating minds can grasp them fully.
The subject matter of every Upanishad is non-difference between the individual and the universal, made famous by statements like ‘Aham Brahma Asmi” - I am Brahman.
These talks were delivered at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute, Belur Math.
