known as Vedanta, meaning the end of the Vedas (Veda Anta). They represent the

Two possible,
traditional meanings have been laid to the word Upanishad. According to the
first, Upanishad (upa ni sad) means sitting near or down. It refers to the way
the Upanishads were tutored to the scholars in ancient India. Discuss aims of education according to the Upanishads. The knowledge of
the Upanishads was confined to a some schoolteachers who were either Kshatriyas
or Brahmanas. They directly passed on the knowledge in person to a some select
scholars according to their merit and under an vow of secretiveness.
Since the knowledge
was tutored to scholars who sat near the master, at a lower stratum or at his
nadirs, while the master sat on a refined seat (asana), his tutoring was called
Upanishad. Since closeness was associated with the schooling, the knowledge of
the Upanishads is also known as the secret knowledge (gudha) or utmost secret
knowledge (athi gudha).
According to the
separate interpretation Upanishad means the knowledge which destroys the bonds
of ignorance and leads to enfranchisement. The knowledge of the Upanishads is
constitutionally the knowledge of Supreme Self (Brahman) and the individual

However, Upanishads means an instruction or advice by a preceptor in close nearness from a late ground of mindfulness (upa) to scholars sitting below (ni) regarding the destruction (shad) of ignorance, thrall, If we go by the other meanings.
The Upanishads,
notwithstanding, don't ignore the moment of worldly knowledge and the debts of
worldly life, without which the world can not continue. By repudiation of
worldly life alone bone doesn't have to rehearse cloth to achieve freeing. One
can live the life of a householder and still achieve the same intention by
leading a wholesome and moral life. Discuss aims of education according to the Upanishads. Hence, they nudge people to rehearse
balance and temperance and pursue both types of knowledge. One should pursue
worldly knowledge (avidya) to perform obligatory duties and guaranty the
durability of the worlds and the family lineage. Once those debts are met, one
should pursue spiritual knowledge (vidya) and strive for emancipation.
