Maharshi was a living example of the teaching of the Upanishads. His life was at once the message and the philosophy of his teachings. He spoke to the hearts of men. Maharshi found himself within himself and then gave out to the world the grand but simple message of his great life, "Know Thyself". I think that this way of life or living is the only way one can live there life. When you go by "Know Thyself", you are your best teacher for the unknown. When you give yourself limitations or dreams, you know what to judge before you say anything because you know yourself better than you know anything else. Discriminate between the undying, unchanging, all-pervading,and the ever-changing, phenomenal and perishable universe and body. When you are able to this you will find your nirvana in the end. Thats what this talks about. I defiantly agree with this but what I have to say like people say when you get married you just know that she is the one, and you get this feeling inside. Well how do you know that you have reached your nirvana or found your ultimate happiness because being human why wouldn't we just strive to be happier, so it would be this cycle that you do till the day that you day.
The Indian philosophy that came from this was something called Yoga. The Yoga philosophical system is closely allied with the Samkhya school. From this type of philosophy you utimately try to reach your inner peace or get peace of mind. But with that you do not have to try to reach a God you are able to go with the form of Samkhya, so in a sense it is a lot similar to Samkhya. Indian philosophy denotes the philosophical speculations of all Indian thinkers, ancient or modern, Hindus or non-Hindus, theists or atheists. All that Indian philosophy is that they are searching for the truth. I think that this is the correct philosophy and most philosophy does try to make sense out of all of this. See we need to be able to search for the truth because once we are able to find out the truth then we know that we are going to find our happiness because we now have peace of mind. Without peace of mind or closeure you will never be able to be happy because you are living your life in fear of the unknown. But once you are able to not live your life in fear and you find the truth it will all make sense.
