Upanishads quotes calendar

"There is a light that shines beyond all things on Earth, beyond us all,
beyond the heaven, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. 
This is the light that shines in our heart."

"He who knows both the transcendent and the immanent,
with the immanent overcomes death,
and with the transcendent reaches immortality."  
 Chandogya Upanishad.

Probably the oldest and most sacred of the Hindu scriptures,
the Upanishads eloquently describe the path of enlightenment, freedom, and peace.
Nobody really knows how old they are, since they are a compilation of many texts
that were finally written down  after being transmitted verbally across many generations. 
Portions of them are reputed to be thousands of years old, by some scholars. 
Whatever their age, they reflect astonishing wisdom, 
put forth in a most poetic and simple manner.

"Even as an eagle, after soaring in the sky, folds his wings for he is weary,
and flies down to his nest,
so the Spirit of man hastens to that place of rest
where his soul has no desires and the Spirit sees no dreams"
