“Brahman is the ultimate reality; it is simultaneously Saguna and Nirguna; divisions are due to ignorance. Mind and intellect can never catch hold of it; they have only one option and that is to merge with it.”
― Amit Ray

“Never during its pilgrimage is the human spirit completely adrift and alone. From start to finish its nucleus is the Atman, the god-within... underlying its whirlpool of transient feelings, emotions, and delusions is the self-luminous, abiding point of the transpersonal god. As the sun lights the world even when cloud-covered, 鈥渢he Immutable is never seen but is the Witness; it is never heard but is the Hearer; it is never thought but is the Thinker; it is never known but is the Knower. There is no other witness but This, no other knower but This." from the Upanishad”
― Huston Smith, The World's Religions

“As by knowing one tool of iron, dear one,
We come to know all things made out of iron -
That they differ only in name and form,
While the stuff of which all are made is iron -

So through spiritual wisdom, dear one,
We come to know that all of life is one.”
― Eknath Easwaran, The Upanishads

“Om is that God of love. Like a loving mother Om cleans us of our clutters collected through many incarnations.”
― Banani Ray

“As a caterpillar, having come to the end of one blade of grass, draws itself together and reaches out for the next, so the Self, having come to the end of one life and dispelled all ignorance, gathers in his faculties and reaches out from the old body to a new”

“As far, verily, as this world-space extends, so far extends the space within the heart. Within it, indeed, are contained both heaven and earth, both fire and wind, both sun and moon, lightning and the stars, both what one possesses here and what one does not possess; everything here is contained within it.”
― Chhandogya Upanishad 8.1.3

“Man is the expression
of God, and God is the reality of man.
Real man and God are inseparable.
"This Atman is not to be realized by the intellect, nor by words, nor by hearing from many sources; but by him by whom this Atman is beloved, by him alone is the Atman realized."
The thing necessary for us is to feel intense love in our hearts for this Atman, or God; otherwise He is not attainable. There is no other way that man can reach unto God, except through love 鈥� love always unites. This love for God comes unto those blessed beings who are pure in heart, from whom all attachment for unreal things, all selfish desires have vanished. This purity of heart and love for God are the sum and substance of all religious teachings”
― Swami Paramananda, Vedanta In Practice

“The ability to accommodate rather than reject older beliefs has a very practical outcome. India has had its share of religious intolerance, but thanks to its paradigm of unity-in-diversity and its cumulative strategy for preserving culture, those individuals and communities who respond to outward forms of worship have kept their place and dignity in the system, while at the other extreme individuals who have really had mystical experience have been unusually free to transcend all religious forms and not only follow their own path but become beacons for the culture as a whole. 鈥淎s men approach me, so I receive them,鈥� Sri Krishna says in the Gita. 鈥淎ll paths, Arjuna, lead to me鈥� (Gita 4.11). This too helps explain the mixtures, or more properly layers, of religious consciousness displayed in the Upanishads.”
― Eknath Easwaran, The Upanishads

“The oldest Vedantic school, Advaita [鈥楴ot two鈥橾, represents an extreme and purist position in arguing that Brahman alone is real. The self and the world are within Brahman, with any apparent difference arising from illusion [maya] and ignorance [avidya]. It is as with a rope, which seems to be a snake, or a seashell, which seems to be of silver. This world is like the foam on the sea, or a peacock鈥檚 egg, created simply for play [lila]. Since Brahman is all, Brahman is without attributes. When the mind, which is given to maya, tries to conceive of Brahman, it sees Ishvara in one of his many forms. If certain Upanishadic statements appear to be theistic, it is because their author (nominally, Brahman) is catering to his audience. Only in deep sleep, when we are no longer dreaming, might we experience something of the formlessness of Brahman. We are then pure, disengaged consciousness, like the sun after it has set. This is the experience of disembodied Atma, of death, of home.”
― Neel Burton, Indian Mythology and Philosophy: The Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Kama Sutra鈥� And How They Fit Together

“The views of one sage did not necessarily agree with those of another. Does the supreme being possess qualities (saguna), or does he have no qualities (nirguna)? Is the external world real or unreal? Is the human soul an individual agent and finite? Or is it identical with the divine soul and therefore infinite? The Upanishads themselves give differing answers to these questions.”
― Bibek Debroyy

“If a man begins his sacrifice when the flames are luminous,
and considers for the offerings the signs of heaven, then
the holy offerings lead him on the rays of the sun where
the Lord of all gods has his high dwelling.
But unsafe are the boats of sacrifice to go to the farthest
shore; unsafe are the eighteen books where the lower
actions are explained. The unwise who praise them as the
highest end go to old age and death again.
Abiding in the midst of ignorance, but thinking them-
selves wise and learned, fools aimlessly go hither and
thither, like blind led by the blind.
Wandering in the paths of unwisdom, 'We have attained
the end of life', think the foolish. Clouds of passion conceal
to them the beyond, and sad is their fall when the reward
of their pious actions has been enjoyed.
Imagining religious ritual and gifts of charity as the final
good, the unwise see not the Path supreme. Indeed they have
in high heaven the reward of their pious actions ; but thence
they fall and come to earth or even down to lower regions.
But those who in purity and faith live in the solitude of
the forest, who have wisdom and peace and long not for
earthly possessions, those in radiant purity pass through
the gates of the sun to the dwelling-place supreme where
the Spirit is in Eternity.”
― Juan Mascar贸, The Upanishads

“Though each of the Vedas may be regarded as a separate work, their composition must have originated contemporaneously. Thus there is no clear division between the notion of the personification of stellar, atmospheric and chthonic phenomena and the henotheistic and henotic notions that finally superseded them. Some members of the brahmin and ksatra classes, and even of the s眉dra, joined secret coteries in the seclusion of the forest and composed radical 脛ranyakas and Upanisads, which rejected ritual sacrifice as the sole means of liberation (moksa), and introduced a monistic doctrine. Such ideas challenged the stereotyped theological dogmas and revitalized religion in India. So great was their impact that the 脛ranyakas and Upanishads were finally regarded as the fulfilment of Vedic nascent aspirations, and therefore called the Vedanta, the end or conclusion 鈥榓nta鈥� of the Veda.”
― Margaret Stutley, Dictionary of Hinduism: Its Mythology, Folklore and Development 1500 BC - AD 1500

“Shankara鈥檚 views were gradually accepted, possibly because he presented brahman both as the cosmic principle and as a personal god (isvara), which added emphasis to the teaching of the later Upanisads and to that of Pata帽jali. Advaita Vedanta thus reinforced the teaching of the Bhagavadgit盲 and the concept of liberation (mukti) by grace (pras盲da), faith (sraddha), and devotion (bhakti). It succeeded in reviving the ancient belief in the affinity of mankind with the world of nature. From being merely one of the darsanas, the Vedanta became an element that permeated all Hindu cults and dissolved sectarian distinctions. It gave to the Supreme Essence (param盲tman), Vishnu and Shiva the common, all-inclusive designation, 鈥業svara鈥�.”

“In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death.”

“On the tree of wisdom there is no fairer flower than the Upanishads, and no finer fruit than the Vedanta philosophy.”

“Whatever may be the discoveries of the scientific mind, none can dispute the eternal truths propounded by the Upanishads. Though they may appear as riddles, the key to solving them lies in our heart and if one were to approach them with an open mind one could secure the treasure as did the Rishis of ancient times”
