	OM
		This Upanishad deals with the waking state (“jagrat awastha”), the dream state (“ swapna awastha”) and the deep sleep state (sushupti awastha”) and establishes that the consciousness that is Atma or Brahman is constantly there in all the three states, the jagrat, the swapna and the sushupti awasthas, as the constant conscious principle.
		In the “Ananda mimamsa” portion in Taittiriya Upanishad (Chapter II, Valli 2, anuvaka 8 and in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad mantra IV.iii.33, it is equated with the absence of desire for the happiness available in the highest world, the plane of Hiranyagarbha, which is the highest plane of the vyavaharika satyam.
		The problem is that any part of the upanishadic lore can be subjected to harmonious interpretation only by a person who knows the whole; since no student will know the whole until he reaches the end of his study, studying by oneself will only lead to misconceptions.

		The Taittiriya Upanishad says that one who knows the Atman regards it as the only Reality, and is permanently established in that Consciousness, and then nothing that he has done or not done, viz., no Karma whatsoever, can affect him, or torment him.
		In the Taittariya Upanishad we learn that Bhrigu approaches his father for wisdom and hears from his father the nature of Brahman as that which is the cause of all things, the sustenance of all things and also the end of all things.
		In the Upanishad, the examples of a falcon, a hawk, a child, a king and a wise man are given to illustrate the nature of Divine Bliss which far surpasses the pleasures of the dualistic world of desires.

	The Principal Upanishads by Neria Harish Hebbar, MD
		The Samhitas (hymns of the Vedas) were written by poets, the Brahmanas (the methodology of rituals) by the priests and the Aranyakas (forest-books, a prelude to Upanishads) and Upanishads by philosophers.
		The Upanishad explains the real power behind the functions of the phenomenal universe and the workings of the man. It asks and answers the question as to who the Atman is. The knowledge of the Absolute (Nirguna Brahman — para vidya), leads to immediate liberation and emancipation (sadyo mukti).
		It is one of the oldest and best-known Upanishads.

		To reinforce this, the upanishad goes on: "One should meditate on the breath in the mouth as the udgitha, for it is continually sounding 'Om.'"13 The upward-moving prana which manifests as the breath is continually sounding "Om" in the subtle levels.

		As to other Upanishads, and their number is very large, which either stand by themselves, or which are ascribed to the Atharva-veda, it is extremely difficult to fix their age.
		Where two or three or four Upanishads contain the same story, told almost in the same words, they are not always copied from one another, but they have been settled independently, in different localities, by different teachers, it may be, for different purposes.
		All the difficulties which occur in the Upanishads occur here, and no critical student who knows the difficulties that have to be encountered in determining the relative age of the four Gospels, will feel inclined, in the present state of Vedic scholarship, to speak with confidence on the relative age of the ancient Upanishads.

	Meaning of the Word Upanishad
		Most European scholars are agreed in deriving upa-ni-shad from the root sad, to sit down, preceded by the two prepositions ni, down, and upa, near, so that it would express the idea of session, or assembly of pupils sitting down near their teacher to listen to his instruction.
		Whenever the word occurs, it has the meaning of doctrine, secret doctrine, or is simply used as the title of the philosophic treatises which constitute the gñânakânda, the knowledge portion, as opposed to the karmakânda, the work or ceremonial portion, of the Veda.
		The history and the genius of the Sanskrit language leave little doubt that upanishad meant originally session, particularly a session consisting of pupils, assembled at a respectful distance round their teacher.

		So, "Upanishad" means, "be seated at the feet of the Guru to receive the teaching." The Upanishads constitute what we call the Vedanta (Veda-anta), but above all because they are their ultimate teachings, reaching to the highest metaphysical state, beyond which is the realm of Silence.
		The Gods referred to in these Upanishads are Agni the God of fire, Vayu the God of air or wind, Indra the God of heroic power and storms, Rudra a God of destruction and of healing, Savitri a sun God or Goddess, Brahma the creator, and Vishnu the preserver.
		Types of Upanishads The characteristics of the Upanishads are their universality and the total absence of any dogmatism.

		So that, in the Upanishads, we have an invaluable proof of the antiquity and authenticity of both general and particular doctrines a guarantee at least three thousand years old, and, in all probability, very much older.
		But it would perhaps be truest to say that the wisdom of the Upanishads is as old as the divinity of man; as old as Brahmâ, ‘former of all, and guardian of the world’.
		This ‘inner light is seated in a chariot with seven wheels’; and this simile at once recalls the verse spoken by Death to Nachiketas: ‘the Self is the lord of the chariot; the body is the chariot; the soul is the charioteer, and mind the reins.
