The Upanišadic Theology

Philosophical inclinations of Vedic hymns are considered in Upanišads in detailed. Instead of Vedic commendatory hymns addressing Gods and Goddesses, searching the hidden Truth and finding a fixed and unchangeable principle within transitory and unstable phenomena is viewable in Upanišads. While Vedic hymns speak of various and scattered divisions of the supreme being, Upanišads suppose one concealed Reality more transcendent than all the transitions and changes of the mundane world. The Vedic Gods are messengers of the one light which is appeared as the universal creation. By referring to Upanišads, we encounter with an interesting transformation: transition from objective to subjective, from anxious wandering of the external world to a quiet meditation in depth and meaning of the essence and self. The Upanišads notice to the rout of the esoteric ascension extensively, an interior travel by that, the individual selves would be able to acquire the Ultimate Reality, the same reality which is within us. It is a supreme and Absolute Truth which is completely different and far from the phenomenal world and the whole cosmos; and on the other hand, is indeed identical with all the phenomena and universe.
