Jewels From Upanishads: 2.2 We Know Not How To Explain Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
Jewels From Upanishads: 2.2 We Know Not How To Explain
Eyes never can there reach,
Mind, nor can words of speech,
We know, nor are aware, nor trained
How Brahman can be explained.

A praiseworthy attempt to reveal mystery hidden inside Upanishads..Bliss is no doubt, ultimate destination of human life, that can't be achieved without infinite source of Wisdom enclosed in scripture like Upaanishads..
With feedback like yours and others' I am encouraged to continue this series further.
