The Upanishads

I did not understand any of the readings this week. I read them all in the hopes of finding one that I would be able to understand and discuss in depth. I found this particular one very interesting though. The beginning caught my attention when they say "That is perfect. This is perfect. Perfect comes from perfect. Take perfect from perfect, the remainder is perfect." In a sense the author does the same thing with peace by saying"May peace and peace and peace by everywhere." If you take this all at a whole then its a bit confusing, but line by line it makes perfect sense. Everything can be perfect, but everything isnt. If you take perfect from perfect then all you could possibly have is perfect. If peace can be everywhere, which is ideal....then peace peace and peace can be everywhere. It was also very interesting talking about how each thing alone is God. It is all these different ways of having God. They are all simple, but incredible things. Everyday things.
