Chandogya

The Chandogya Upanishad is notable for its lilting metric structure, its mention of ancient cultural elements such as musical instruments, and embedded philosophical premises that later served as foundation for Vedanta schools.

Ninth Khanda

In due course, Satyakāma reached his teacher’s house. The teacher greeted him, saying, ‘O Satyakāma.’ He replied, ‘Yes, lord’.

The teacher said: ‘Somya, you shine like one who has known Brahman. Who taught you?’ Satyakāma assured him: ‘Certainly no human being. But will you, O Lord, please teach me now about Brahman, the subject closest to my heart?’

(Satyakāma said) ‘I have heard from revered ones like you that a person learns best when he learns from a competent teacher.’ The teacher then, taught Satyakāma everything. Nothing was left out.
