Introduction : 3.





The Upanishads contain the fiery declarations of realised Truth, made by Masters, who had tried to capture the Infinite in a web of finite words.

These constitute the highest philosophical explanations that the superman have ever made in the world of creatures.

These vital and vibrant Truth-declarations, compiled and added to the tail-end of each Veda textbook, are named also as Vedanta, meaning " the end of Veda."

Both metaphorically and literally it is true, for these represent metaphorically the "fulfilment of knowledge," as well as literally constitute the "concluding portions" of the immortal textbooks called
the " Vedas."



As a systematic series of audible sounds, which have a mutually understood sense of meaning for the speaker and the hearer, language can be used only in conveying lived experiences, which are commonly known to both the parties using the language.

In short, language can be used only in conveyance of finite experiences, which are the common property of all living men in their day-to-day  life.

At best, a language can hope to express only some of the feelings, and can, to an extent only, if at all, bring out all thoughts of one's intellectual life in their full intensity.

But beyond these, however intimate and best-lived may be the experience, the "experiencer cannot express" those deeper layers of life fully in any language.

In fact, the deeper we go into any respect of life, the more it becomes inexpressible in language. Certainly, the Infinite cannot be expressed at all in the language of the finite.

To be continued ....
