Vajrasūcika-Upaniṣad. Denial of the Natural and the „Verticalization” of Religious Experience

Vajrasūcika-Upaniṣad is a more recent text, belonging to the line of the Sāma-Veda. The text demolishes all the religious claims of any phenomenal condition, arguing that spiritual pre-eminence is reached only through the direct realization of the ultimate reality (Brahman) as own-identity (ātman). The last paragraph of the text offers a presentation of this ultimate reality and of the condition reached by the one who gets dissolved into it.
