Aitareya Upanishad

The Aitareya Upanishad is an ancient Indian text exploring the nature of consciousness and the origin of life. It suggests that a universal, primal consciousness (the Self) existed before creation. From this Self, the universe and individual beings emerged through a process of unfolding and differentiation. The Upanishad emphasizes that understanding this inner Self leads to spiritual enlightenment and unity with the ultimate reality, beyond physical form and senses. Essentially, it teaches that our true essence is this universal consciousness, and realizing this connection is the path to true knowledge and liberation.
