Topic: The Kaivalya Upaniṣad is an ancient sacred text of India which unfolds the vision of Advaita, non-duality, oneness without a second, along with the means to attain this transformative vision. Themes of trust, devotion, experience, knowledge, and renunciation are explored. Instruction is given in meditation upon formless reality, upon the self which is ever-present in the cave of the heart, as well as upon the expression of the sacred with form. Finally, the deeply personal vision of identity with the limitless is ecstatically expressed by the student upon the clear understanding of the teaching Tat Tvam Asi, “You are That”.
