The Brhadaranyaka Upanishad
Translated by Swami Jagadiswarananda, 515 pages, Paperback.
The Self is the dearest of all things, and only through the Self is anything else dear. The Self is the origin of all finite happiness, but it is itself pure bliss, transcending definition. It remains unaffected by deeds, good or bad. It is beyond feeling and beyond knowledge, but it is not beyond the meditation of the sage.
