The expression \u003cem\u003eVedanta\u003c\/em\u003e (end of the \u003cem\u003eVedas\u003c\/em\u003e) should be understood in the double meaning of 'conclusion', as the Upaniṣads are the last part of the \u003cem\u003eVedic\u003c\/em\u003e texts, and of 'purpose', because what is being taught is the ultimate goal of Traditional Knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e The central theme of the \u003cem\u003eUpanisads\u003c\/em\u003e is the quest for the Ultimate Reality, they therefore represent Metaphysics in its real sense. This type of research is not an end to itself, for the Upaniṣads represent ways of contact and tools of realization; to this end they indicate a concise and complete sequence that concedes little or nothing to the analytical mind.\u003cbr\u003e The five \u003cem\u003eUpanisads\u003c\/em\u003e presented in this text - \u003cem\u003eIsa\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eKaivalya\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSarvasāra\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAmrtabindu\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAtharvasira\u003c\/em\u003e - are commented extensively by Raphael. In his commentary, Raphael frames and broadens all the various points in the context of the traditional \u003cem\u003eAdvaita\u003c\/em\u003e (Non-duality) teaching, and thus provides the western mind with the key to the comprehension of their symbolic, figurative, and analogical language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aurea Vidya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931406260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.45d","brand":"(\u0026#256;\u0026#347;ram Vidy\u0026#257; Ord Raphael","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38212568547509,"sku":"9781931406260","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b366351a-e36b-4de1-a424-026ea66a40bf.jpg?v=1610436053","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/five-upanisads-isa-kaivalya-sarvasara-amrtabindu-atharvasira-9781931406260","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
