Introduction:
The Prashna Upanishad consists of six questions posed by six students to the sage Pippalada, and his answers to these questions. The questions relate to the nature of the self, the path to liberation, and the nature of Brahman (the ultimate reality).
One of the key teachings of the Prashna Upanishad is the concept of the five sheaths, which are layers of existence that cover the true nature of the self. These sheaths are the physical body, the vital energy, the mind, the intellect, and the blissful self. The Upanishad teaches that by transcending these sheaths, one can realize the true nature of the self.
The Upanishad also discusses the concept of the three states of consciousness, which are waking, dream, and deep sleep. It teaches that these states are transient and illusory, and that the true nature of the self transcends them.
