Adi Shankara, in his review of the Mundaka Upanishad, calls the meditation as Yoga. [32] In verse 2.2.2, the Mundaka Upanishad asserts that Atman-Brahman is the real.

Katha Upanishad, verses 1.1.1–3, partially 4 (the text starts in the mid-1st-line, after salutations to Ganesha) The thick text is the Upanishad scripture, the small text in the margins and edges are an unknown scholar's notes and comments in the typical Hindu style of a minor bhasya.

The Vedānta(Sanskrit: वेदान्त) school built upon the teachings of the Upanishads and Brahma Sutras from the first millennium BCE [88] [111] and is the most developed [citation needed] and best-known of the Hindu schools.
A notable structural feature of Chandogya Upanishad is that it contains many nearly identical passages and stories also found in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, but in precise meter. [17] [18] The Chandogya Upanishad, like other Upanishads, was a living document. Every chapter shows evidence of insertion or interpolation at a later age, because the ...
