The Upanishads

I truly liked this reading. My favorite thing was the unknowing and how even if you try to understand you can’t, but you can. Isn’t that how we live our lives? There is just so much we don’t understand and we strive to get it. Some times the things we know best are the things we both don’t understand and can’t explain. It’s like being so deeply passionate about something because you feel its right even though you could never explain it nor could you begin to understand it. The part that states “Eye cannot see it, tongue cannot utter it, mind cannot grasp it. There is no way to learn it or teach it. It is different from the known, beyond the unknown. That which makes the tongue speak but which cannot be spoken by the tongue-that alone is God, not what people worship." Basically what I got from this reading was to worship God and truly understand God is not to. It’s just allowing it to happen, for you to feel not think. For you to just know not to understand.
