The 11 'Classical' Upanishads

Picture
The Self that is subtler than the subtle and greater than the great is seated in the heart of every creature. One who is free from desire sees the glory of the Self through the tranquillity of the mind and senses and becomes absolved from grief. - Katha Upanishad

Dissolve the self in the supreme Self as the pot-space is dissolved in infinite space; then, as the Infinite be silent for ever, O sage! –
Adhyatma Upanishad

He who perceives all beings in the Self alone, and the Self in all
beings, does not entertain any hatred on account of that perception. –
Isavasya Upanishad

That which is consciousness alone which is all-pervading, which is
eternal, which is all-full, which is of the form of bliss and which is
indestructible, is the only true Brahman (infinite consciousness). –
Varaha Upanishad

Man is bound by ‘mine’, but he is released by ‘not mine’. He should
abandon all the thoughts relating to externals and so also with
references to internals. O Ribhu, having given up all thoughts, you
should rest content (in your soul) ever.” – Varaha Upanishad

Like the butter hidden in milk, the Pure Consciousness resides in
every being. That ought to be constantly churned out by the churning
rod of the mind. – Amrita-Bindu Upanishad

Being first in a state of changelessness and then thoroughly
forgetting (even) that state owing to the cognition of the (true)
nature of Brahman (infinite consciousness) – this is called Samadhi. –
Tejo-Bindu Upanishad

In order to realize the Self, renounce everything. Having cast off all
(objects), assimilate yourself to that which remains. - Annapurna
Upanishad

When all longings that are in the heart vanish, then a mortal becomes
immortal and attains Brahman (infinite consciousness) here. - Katha
Upanishad

Those who are clever in arguments about Brahman, but are without the
action pertaining to Brahman (infinite consciousness) and who are
greatly attached to the world – those certainly are born again and
again (in this world) through their Ajnana (ignorance). – Tejo-Bindu
Upanishad

As rivers, flowing down, become indistinguishable on reaching the sea
by giving up their names and forms, so also the illumined soul, having
become freed from name and form, reaches the self-effulgent Supreme
Self - Mundaka Upanishad
