The Upanishads

I really enjoyed this reading alot it definatly made me think. At the beginning i was extremely confused. As i kept reading it began to come together. I think the whole reading was about how God is everywhere and in everyone. God is in every aspect of your life even in thought. I really like the line, " Those who realize that God cannot be known, truly know; those who claim that they know, know nothing. The ignorant think that God can be grasped by the mind; the wise know It beyond knowledge." God cannot be known. He can not be seen, or touched but he is there. This is the point i believe The Upanishads are trying to get across. "If you think that you know God, you know very little."
