I feel that we should know about the Upanishads irrespective of whether we believe in God or not.
In one of my earlier posts I have given the gist of the Ishavyasopanishad with an intention of giving the rest 9 of the principal Upanishads later. I am worried that giving them all together would tax the person who reads them and that is reason why I am giving them in installments.
I am giving the gist of 3 more Upanishads below:
KENOPANISHAD.
The power behind every activity of nature and of man is the power of Brahman. To realize this truth is to be immortal.
KATHOPANISHAD.
The secret of immortality is to be found in purification of the heart, in meditation, in realization of the identity of the Self within and the Brahman without. For immortality is simply union with God.
PRASNAOPANISHAD.
Man is composed of such elements as vital breath, deeds, thought, and the senses. All of them deriving their being from the Self. In the Self, they ultimately disappear, even as the waters of a river disappear into the sea.
