Summary
Easwaran explains that the Indian scriptures express one supreme, eternal law: if we live for others, in complete harmony with all life, in our homes, at work, and in our communities, we will find abiding happiness and fulfilment. To erase all selfishness from our hearts requires more courage and endurance, Easwaran says, than climbing the Himalayas - and he conveys vividly the joy and exhilaration of the spiritual life.
Meditation and the repetition of the mantram (or mantra) are essential for those who choose to take on these challenges, and Easwaran refers to these disciplines frequently. Anyone who is new to these spiritual practices might find it helpful to listen first to Easwaran's talk Meditation.

Contended and relaxed after listening
This book is so well narrated and it helps to explore so much of potential and vital energy inside us. The teacher is very knowledgable and his lessons articulations show that he practices what he preaches , what else we would need than seeing a living example who has benefited the benefits of Upanishads in his lifetime.
Upanishads is surely not for the weak! It's something to practice for the brave with a great will! I feel very lucky to have support of technology to complete this book by listening to it! Cheers to audible as well for the great concept of making users listen to such great teachings! I recommend this audio for everyone who has felt atleast once the desire towards spirituality and self exploration. This audio is very powerful as it covers all the Upanishads so you can explore many answers and benefit greatly from it! OM
