For the work of enkindling our understandings, the great Indian Upanishads are specially and strikingly endowed. Our needs are rather for the understanding than for the will; for wisdom rather than righteousness; for a theosophy rather than for a religion. No where shall we find these needs better supplied, or nearly as well supplied, as in the theosophy of the great Indian Upanishads.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
