Shvetashvatara Upanishad

Those verses in the Vedas that amplify the greatness of man, his soul's journey, and his ultimate purpose are termed as Upanishads. Traditionally the verses in each Veda have been classified as Mantra portion or Brahmana portion. Within the Brahmana portion, there is a further sub-classification of verses, namely Brahmana-Aranyaka-Upanishad. Technically Brahmana means planning, discussion & analysis. Aranyaka means research & philosophy. Upanishad means essential thought or guiding principle. Shvetashvatara is from the Krishna Yajurveda. It develops the concept of Brahman, a loving compassionate fluid that permeates all beings and the entire Creation. Only the inward senses can glimpse it, only a brave seeker can attempt the discovery. ------------------------------------------- Contains Original verses in Sanskrit with a Latin transliteration and a lucid English commentary. य एको जालवानीशत ईशनीभिः सर्वांल्लोकानीशत ईशनीभिः । य एवैक उद्भवे सम्भवे च य एतद्विदुरमृतास्ते भवन्ति ॥ ३.१ एको
