Truth, the Upanishads & the PurANas

One and Its Power to be Many.

After seeing the Truth even the Upanishads seem to read like the PurANas- so many stories.

The mahavAkyas are their Essence. The Essence of the mahAvAkyas is Om.

Import: The wisdom of the PurANas is their ability to weave in the Truth through elaborate stories that captivate the imagination. In comparison the Upanishads appear to cut to the heart of the matter. Yet, when through practice the Truth is realized, it is so simple that even the Upanishads seem to meander through elaborate story lines. The Essence of the Upanishads is in the mahAvAkyas. And the Essence of the mahAvAkyas is Om. Knowing Om, all Knowledge is known.
