I remember a philosophical joke. A couple of years ago my son went to Spain and sent me lots of pictures. I said, "I do not see a camera in any of these pictures. Did you by chance forget and left it at home?" But of course he took the camera. The pictures would not exist without the camera. but the camera was not IN any of the pictures. By analogy, when you go to a museum, you see lots of paintings. Paintings of flowers, paintings of girl with a pearl, etc. But no painting of a canvas. But the paintings could not exist without the canvases.

I honestly like how much our ancestors were willing to explore, question, research & seek. That's the enjoyment of it all. Feeling like we're solving a huge puzzle/mystery & questioning every piece, creating different methods of solving, tinkering around. This is the kind of religion I would want to be in; one in which i can be a seeker doing my research, putting two & two together. Reaching God & this ultimate reality is the ultimate science experiment & mystery. Two things I love. And that's how I choose to practice my faith.

Loved the way you strung all the Upanishads together... The evolution of how the rishis built the explanations of the Brahman, the Saakshi, and the mahavakya connecting both helped me gained perspective and connect the dots on the Upanishads.. Excellent explanation. Thank you

Very well done. Thank You for this 30,000 feet view of the Upanishads and not getting bogged down in some story that does not connect to the whole.

That was so illuminating. I'll find my copy of the Upanishads and re-read them with your commentary. They'll make so much more sense now. Thank you, from Ireland.
