description: See God in all To Him belong all Knowrenounce and rejoice Seek not to possessnothing is yours.( This short spiritual treatise of just eighteen mantras has inspired great minds for ages.A chapter in Sukla Yajurveda the teachings here point out the Self-the divine Essence-in every one of us.A crisp summary of the Vedantathis Upanisad shows us the way to rise above all our attachments to the finite objects of the world.The glittering sense objects the sweetest emotions and even the lofty ideals of human life are but a golden dishcovering the face of the Truth.We must avoid all traps of wonderful work (karmaavidya) or charming thought patterns (upasanavidya) and seek the pure Knowledge.The holy text permits the use of a healthy blend of lower spiritual practices as a stepping stone to the highest Realization.The scripture concludes with some sublime prayers of an advanced seeker.
