The Inner Compass The Upanishads and the Modern Mind: Not Verses, but Silence; Not Religion, but Direction

The Inner Compass The Upanishads and the Modern Mind
Not Verses, but Silence; Not Religion, but Direction
In a world of constant noise, achievement, and comparison, many of us carry a quiet question: Why does something still feel missing?
This book does not offer mantras, rituals, or ready-made answers. Instead, it turns inward-drawing from the timeless insights of the Upanishads to explore the modern human condition with clarity, honesty, and depth.
The Inner Compass is not a religious text. It is a guide for inquiry. Through everyday examples drawn from work, relationships, ambition, fear, and restlessness, the book translates ancient wisdom into a language the modern mind can recognise.
Rather than quoting verses, it explores meanings.
Rather than demanding belief, it invites reflection.
Rather than promising instant peace, it points towards understanding.
Inside, you will explore: Why identity based on roles, success, and labels creates inner conflictThe difference between fleeting pleasure and lasting contentmentHow desire and fear arise from a sense of separationWhat the Upanishads truly mean by Self, freedom, and peaceHow these insights can be lived-quietly and practically-in daily lifeThis book is for readers who are thoughtful, curious, and inwardly honest-those who are not seeking escape from life, but clarity within it.
The journey does not end with the last page.
It simply begins with a better sense of direction.
