Maitri Upanishad - A Selection for Meditation and Contemplation - Advaita - Vedanta

The Maitrayaniya Upanishad (Sanskrit: मैत्रायणीय उपनिषद्, Maitrāyaṇīya Upaniṣad) is an ancient Sanskrit text that is embedded inside the Yajurveda. It consists of seven lessons, many of which discuss metaphysical questions about the soul (Atman), concluding that humans are the Ultimate Self – the immortal Brahman. In particular, the Maitri Upanishad asks how joy is possible in an existence pervaded by suffering and whether a soul can achieve freedom in this life. It also allows for deity worship but sees such practices as temporary, which eventually must be relinquished to find true enlightenment through meditation and self-knowledge.
