Mundaka Upanishad
Brahma's Ancient Teaching
A Lineage of Sages
Shaunaka's Question
Two Kinds of Knowledge
The Vedas and the Imperishable
The Formless Source of All
As the Spider Spins Its Web
From Brahman, Food and Life
The All-Knowing Source
The Path of Ritual Action
The Flickering Sacred Flame
The Cost of Neglected Ritual
The Seven Tongues of Fire
Led by the Sun's Rays
Come, Come — Welcomed to Brahmaloka
Unstable Rafts of Ritual
The Blind Leading the Blind
The Childish Belief in Fulfillment
Heaven's Temporary Reward
Through the Door of the Sun
Seeking a True Teacher
The Teacher Imparts the Truth
Sparks from a Blazing Fire
The Formless Divine Person
The Elements Born of Him
The Cosmic Person's Body
The Source of Rain and Life
The Origin of All Rites
All Beings and Virtues Born of Him
The Sevenfold Breaths and Worlds
Oceans, Mountains, and Rivers
Untying the Knot of Ignorance
The Great Abode Hidden in the Heart
Subtler Than the Subtlest
The Bow of the Upanishad
Om, the Self, and Brahman as One
The Bridge to Immortality
Spokes of a Wheel
The Self Enthroned in the Heart
The Knot of the Heart Is Broken
The Light of Lights
Where the Sun Does Not Shine
Brahman Everywhere
Two Birds on One Tree
Freed from Sorrow
Attaining the Highest Oneness
Foremost Among Knowers of Brahman
Seen by the Purified Sages
Truth Alone Triumphs
Nearer Than the Nearest
Seen Only Through Purified Knowledge
The Subtle Self, Known by the Mind
Whatever World the Pure Mind Desires
Transcending Through Desirelessness
Where Desires Dissolve
Chosen by the Self
Attained Only Through True Effort
Sages Who Enter the All
Liberated at the End of Time
All Becomes One in the Imperishable
Like Rivers Merging into the Sea
Becoming Brahman Itself
To Whom the Teaching Should Be Given
Salutations to the Great Sages
