Explanation by: Admin

The Upanishads are ancient Indian texts that form the philosophical basis of Hinduism. They explore profound metaphysical questions such as:

  • The nature of reality (Brahman)
  • The self (Atman)
  • The relationship between Atman and Brahman
  • The concepts of moksha (liberation), karma, and rebirth

They are considered the culmination of the Vedas and are also known as Vedanta ("the end of the Vedas"). The Upanishads emphasize knowledge (jnana) and inner realization as the path to liberation.

Other options:

  • Law is primarily discussed in Smritis (like Manusmriti).
  • Yoga is elaborately described in texts like the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
  • Dharma is central to the Dharmashastra texts and epics like the Mahabharata.

Therefore, the Upanishads are best described as texts of philosophy.
