What are the Upanishads?
In Sanskrit, Upanishad means sitting close - sitting close to the master, physically and mentally. It signifies the finite getting close to the infinite, the known reaching out to the unknown. The Upanishads are dialogues between Master and student from ages ago. The master is the embodiment of wisdom and the student represents a spiritual seeker eager to come closer to wisdom.

If you desire freedom, consider yourself fortunate. Many merely exist without such awareness. Even boredom is a blessing, as it reflects a deeper longing for meaning beyond life's superficial distractions.
