00:00Where do you think the Upanishads came from?
00:02How exactly did the sages learn of those really esoteric things?
00:07How? Where do you think the word Brahma or Atman came from?
00:11What was the process?
00:13The process was observation of the fact of life.
00:16That's it. Nothing else.
00:18It is from the facts of life that the highest wisdom literature takes birth.
00:23They were looking at the flowers, they were looking at the bees,
00:25they were looking at the trees, they were looking at the hut and the man and the woman,
00:30they were looking at relationships taking shape,
00:32they were looking at the crops, they were looking at the changing seasons,
00:36at the falling leaves.
00:37It was from this observation that you have what you today call as divine.
00:42Not for a moment should you think that there was some great divine power from the skies
00:48that descended to utter the absolute in their ears.
00:52No, it is from the observation of all this that you come to the simple truth.
