This review is from: The Ten Principal Upanishads (Paperback)

I agree with Mr. Littrell. This is THE Upanishads to read in English.

Three quotes from differing spots in the Text:
"You cannot see the seer of the sight. You cannot hear the hearer of the sound. You cannot think the thinker of the thought. You cannot know the knower of the known. Your own Self lives in the hearts of all. Nothing else matters."
-YadnyawalkyaJi
"`He who knows the soundless, odourless, tasteless, intangible, formless, deathless, supernatural, undecaying, beginningless, endless, unchangeable Reality, springs out of the mouth of Death.' . . . `That boundless Power, source of every power, manifesting itself as life, entering every heart, living there among the elements, that is Self.'"
-Death
"`Remember, my son! The body bereft of Self dies. Self does not die.
That Being is the seed; all else but His expression. He is truth. He is Self. Shwetaketu! Thou art That.'"
-Uddalaka
Jai Bhagwan Shri RAM!!
