मुण्डक उपनिषद्
Mundaka Upanishad
Higher and lower knowledge
The Upanishad that distinguishes para (higher) and apara (lower) knowledge.
The Mundaka of the Atharvaveda teaches the difference between apara vidya (the lower learning) and para vidya (the knowledge of the imperishable Brahman). It gives the image of two birds on one tree and the national motto 'satyameva jayate' — truth alone triumphs.
